It has to be said ... Cliff Clavin is the only other person in the world that could come up with that little known fact about Mr. Ratzenberger.  ;D

I'm still trying to picture Cliff Claven driving a tractor around Woodstock!
:D

On a 1982 episode of 'Cheers', Norm comes into the bar and tells the gang that he took Vera to see 'Ghandi'.  When asked how he liked it, he said he didn't know because technically he's still watching it, he's "getting popcorn" LOL

I can't remember the full bit of that episode, but I do believe it was Cliff who asked him how the movie was

I just watched House II the Second Story, he is the Electrician and Adventurer.

John Ratzenberger plays a huge role off screen as well in trying to get today's youth to become tinkerers.
He is part of the Nuts, Bolts & Thingamajigs Foundation, a foundation for young men and women to use
their hands, become tradesmen and artisans. The world continues to build but we're losing the skilled
people to build it.

For me, John Ratzenburger will always be Cliff Clavin from Cheers. In my eyes, Ratzenburger was very lucky to carve out a massive voice-over career with Disney/Pixar as a lot of actors have trouble getting away from their typecast roles, especially a role that has lasted as long as Cliff (10/11 years in the role?).

My Dad made a special point of taking us to see Ghandi.  All I knew about Ghandi was from a mention of him in a Unitarian Universalist documentary!  So what's up with the bald guy in the robe and the glasses?  Oh!  That's what he did!  Ben Kingsley is a really intense actor.  If you haven't seen a movie called "Sexy Beast," you should!  Just don't watch it with your children.  Ben Kingsley plays a psychopathic organized crime boss, billed as "The Anti-Ghandi," "Sexy Beast" uses the c-word more than any other movie, and Ben Kingsley's character shouts most of them!

Yes, I've seen that film. It has Ray Winstone in 'Sexy Beast' as well. Kingsley is by far the best actor in the film.

Great film, great actors, but it doesn't feature John Ratzenberger!
