Dakota Buchanan, who played Bobby Ponderosa in two episodes of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, also has a credit in Self/Less as “Dickish Cousin.”
Trading Places had “Big Black Guy” and “Even Bigger Black Guy.”
That’s correct, because IIRC they hadn’t been cast when the song was recorded.
In Dead Man, Thomas Bettles is credited as Young Nobody #1. As if that wasn’t bad enough, Daniel Chas Stacy got to be Young Nobody #2.
ETA: “Nobody” is what the character calls himself. But out of context, if I were going to be a “Young Nobody,” I’d like to at least be #1.
In Waiting for Guffman, the character who sits in the reserved seat and is consequently mistaken for Morty Guffman introduces himself as “Roy Loomis,” but he’s credited as “Not Guffman.”
Of note: Thatcher wrote and did the song he was playing on the bus.
Many years ago, NYPD Blue had a character that showed up in a couple of episodes, typically wrapped in a blanket that he throws off, revealing that he was not wearing clothes under the blanket, and screams “I’m buck naked!”
Google says the actor was Lee Weaver. On Weaver’s IMBD page, he is credited for NYPD Blue with the character name Buck Naked.
It gets better. Lee Weaver is also credited for playing Buck Naked on five episodes of Hill Street Blues. He did the same shtick there. I wonder if he was arrested by Dennis Franz in both shows.
