* [[Adam Westing]]: His appearance on ''[[Extras]]'' has become a small classic ("Little fat man who sold his soul..."), but years before that there was the long-form video/[[Short Film]] ''Jazzin' for Blue Jean'' (1984).

The segment climaxed with him ''French-kissing'' it in '74; in '83 he tried to do so but his stagehands stepped in to stop ''that'' nonsense. |
