The mailman...
Haha! Did anyone else notice the mailman is the same from Better Off Dead?!? Hilarious!
shareHis name is Taylor Negron and I once ran into him on the Sausalito ferry in San Francisco. He was with a bunch of friends and he was blown away that someone actually recoginzed him. I reminded him of his line in "Better Off Dead" about dating "Beth". He laughed and his friends started asking him what I was talking about. He said, "It's from a movie I was in." They had no idea he was even in BOD. He was also the guy who delivered the pizza to Sean Penn in "Fast Times a Ridgemont High" and the crazed killer in Bruce Willis's "The Last Boy Scout". My brush with greatness...

He was on that TV show with the Olsen sisters. Why is he relegated to inferior movie roles.
shareHe was very funny as the mailman. He did play a complete cartoonish creep in Last Boy Scout. He is unique.

He also delivered pizzas in Bio-Dome. So that's at least two roles as a mailman and two roles delivering pizzas.

Great story, man.... glad he was so cordial and you got to meet him.
He was in One Crazy Summer too. Savage Steve Holland obviously liked him. But I've gotta say the Better Off Dead role, even though it's so small, was just one of the best short appearances.

Mrs. French's cat is missing...
I saw him in a pizza place on 14th street in NYC once. I said, hey you're that guy!
He said somthing like "That guy, sure." I think he was a little miffed that I didn't know his name.
Oh well.
Unfortunately he passed away recently as you may or may not know. He will be missed. R.I.P
shareHe plays his roles perfect. He was great in nothing but trouble. Had a wicked accent.
A few better off dead actors in this.
