Here is a link to the opening credits: [Big John Little John - Opening Titles - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBAId5zr25w)  
Is there any way to find out who played the transitional faces between Herb Edelman and Robbie Rist? One of them looks a lot like Andy Kaufman to me, and now I’m curious. Even IMDb doesn’t have the info.

A google search throws [this](https://twitter.com/herring1967/status/340410423851507713) up, but it’s hardly conclusive !

None of the actors looks anything like Andy Kaufman, in my humble opinion.

My own 40+ year memory of the saturday morning sitcom had “the face younger than Kaufman” supplied by “Peter Brady” aka Christopher Knight.

Now that I see him…eh, not so much.
