SEARCHING FOR MALVERT!!!


Does anybody know what ever happened to Malvert the Janitor from Student Bodies, or "The Stick", as his professional name is indicated as. I'm desperate to personally find him, to see if I can get him to perform at my friends wedding. I don't know his real name, or if he's still in the comedy circuit, or even alive, so I'm currrently stuck. Please e-mail me if you have any information regarding this individual.

I don't think your friends would dig this guy as the wedding "entertainment" - try for something a little mainstream.

"Absurd"

How can this be such a mystery? Someone who contributed to this movie in some way must come to this from time to time and must have some info about "The Stick"?

This is the most interesting thread on IMDB.

reply

In addition to Malvert in Student Bodies, did "The Stick" play the role of "Tarman" in the zombie classic Return of the Living Dead? Because Tarman has the same broomhandle body and flailing limbs as our favourite janitor.

I found a site the other day listing Malvert AKA The Stick has pass 15 years ago from a heart attack. Real Name was Pat Varnell Died in Corsicana, TX

At least this is the some info to go on & to give this great actor an actually name to his talents.

Actually no. That was Allan Trautman.

Here it is, once and for all... Patrick Boone Varnell Born In Lawton Oklahoma Jan 22, 1941

Was working at a Q's Restaurant at the time of his death.

Died at the Medical City Hospital in Dallas Texas on May 7, 1989.

His body has/was donated to science.

it's unclear if his remains (whatever was left of him), was buried in Corsicana.

His Sister Died three years ago in Corsicana, she was born in Oildale California. She worked as a Lad Technician In Corsicana AND Tyler Texas, so that would explain maybe the body being donated.


Here is his obituary.
