Lileks today posts a tweet<\/a>:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And says where he knows “this guy” from:<\/p>\n

An actor who was in Succession, but I remembered him from an ep of Miami Vice. He played a CIA agent named \u201cSurf.\u201d It\u2019s the one in which (spoiler) he turns out to be a Russian agent, and has Castillo trapped. Of course Castillo pulls out a sword and assumes a pose that\u2019s supposed to make us think \u201cOh of course Castillo is a Samurai dude, he has skills,\u201d and the actor says \u201cwhen you go, you go all the way.\u201d Why do I remember that?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Lileks does not name the guy, but, c’mon, man, that’s Sledge Hammer. Apparently, actor David Rasche was in other things, but I haven’t seen them.<\/p>\n

Come to think of it, I have only watched the first season of the complete Sledge Hammer!<\/em> set I bought in 2004 (anticipated here<\/a> and acquisition acknowledged here<\/a>). I watched the first season again with my boys when they were younger (probably already a decade ago). When I finish up the current DVD set of a television show that I acquired a long time ago, perhaps I should dig it out. In addition to boxes of movies and documentaries of dubious quality<\/a>, I have many box sets of complete (or almost complete) or random single seasons of television series to watch. Someday. Maybe.<\/p>\n

But David Rasche. Say his name. Although if you’re like me and have only seen it in print (in my case, the Sledge Hammer!<\/em> credits), you might mispronounce it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
