I forgot Tracey Walter was in Star Trek. I just saw him in Repo Man last week.

> _Repo Man_ is a favorite of mine since way back when and it was very fun to watch it with a theater full of fans. I love the movie’s music, the social commentary, and the wicked humor. Everyone in the theater had a great time and laughed, quoted the lines, and cheered throughout the show. I know the movie isn’t everyone’s bag, but I recommend it nonetheless.
