I've been watching more of his talk show appearances with David Letterman, and his movie GUMS.
Random thought... I was thinking how great it would have been, to have seen him perform in a David Lynch film.
I've searched for years, but I still have NOT been able to find his short film called MIDNIGHT CAFE.
I recently tried looking for it at SOMETHING WEIRD's website, but NO luck!
Hope you're at peace Mr. Gottlieb.....
He was the #1 reason I watched the Letterman Show back in the day (Larry "Bud" Melman was reason #2)!
ReplyDeleteI forgot about Larry "Bud" Melman ( Calvert DeForest )... Had fun watching his brief appearance in WAITRESS! - the TROMA flick, NOT the incredibly overrated movie with Keri Russell.
ReplyDeleteJust for the record, that's NOT a put-down of Ms. Russell - I love watching her on a tv show called THE AMERICANS.
DeForest was in THE FIRST TIME (1983) starring the late Tim Choate, of course I didn't know Calvert as Larry "Bud" until I rented the tape of the movie years later and made the connection.
