Cleatus - Happy Days- PORN STAR??????

[Ireneparalegal]

Anyone remember seeing the actor portray "Sticks" on Happy Days? He was the drummer in the band playing with Richie and the other guys and no one wanted to come to Richie's party because the guy is black. He showed up in a few more episodes and then was gone. Wonder why this was? Also, after checking out another poster's info (see here) i decided to check also and guess what???? He had been in the porno industry!!!!! Wouldn't Aunt Florida be sooooo proud?????

Well I just looked him up. Either he was in a lot of Porno's or he wrote for them. But he's credited in a lot of them. He died in 1994 of Cancer.

Yeah, I remember him on there. Never thought about it 'til you posted this.

Wasn't he also on the kid show Magic Mongo or something like that???

[nerrad]

Yes, "Jack Baker" did porn. He was crazy as hell. LOL. When I was a teenager, I knew Cleatus looked familiar everytime I would watch GT. Imagine how funny it was after everything finally clicked together. :lol:

Michael was DUMB in this episode too. Saying stuff like-"Hey Cleatus is a Hero"-lol

[nerrad]

I know. Michael brought it on himself with all that Black Falcon talk. Sometimes, I think the writers made Michael a little too level-headed.

I saw the ep last night and thought he looked really familar!!! (Not from porns :lol: ) but as Sticks in Happy Days!

Irene, you stole my thunder!!! LOL I was going to post this exact thread myself! Yes, he was in porn. I guess when Norman Lear stopped answering his phone calls, he turned to the dark side!! :lol:

Wonderbug that was it!!! :D

You know it is really sad that his career to a turn like this. I'm not saying anything is wrong with porn or people who work in that industry, but a lot of out of work actors really suffer for their craft, and especially African American actors. JMO!!!!!

I was surprised he qualified to even be in a porn.-lol Ugly as he was, he reminded me of a crackhead in the Cleatus episode.

Really? I didn't think he's bad looking at all.

Course - they didn't show the part of him that would really qualify him for pornos anyway!!!

Hey - if fatass Ron Jeremy can be in porn then ANYBODY can!! Even Sinbad with his teeny tiny head!!! :lol:

[Brian Damage]

Ron Jeremy is in porn because in his younger days, he had a certain "skill" that not every man can do. ;)

I hate to admit this - but I know the skill you're talking about!! :lol:

Very handy guy to have around the house when you're vacuuming floors! :lol:

Still - they needed to take a weed whacker to the guy.... :crazy:

[nerrad]

:lol: :lol: Yeah, I heard about his "skill" also. He's more than sick. I wonder did anyone bet him on it.

[Brian Damage]

He actually did an interview and explained how that happened. He said he was in highschool on the gymnastics team and while he was doing a tumblesault, he discovered that he reached down far enough. The rest as they say, is history. :lol:

:lol: So true, so true. Maybe Jack had that same ability LOL, I've never seen his "work" so I wouldn't know, just a thought.

[Ireneparalegal]

Yep, he said the same thing on Howard Stern radio show. I saw the segment on "E". I couldn't believe that he would even want to do that, regardless of the fact he is able to do it. Like Chris Rock said: "If you can drive with your feet, so what!! Doesn't mean it should be done!!!!"

Naw - I think that was it - we're supposed to assume he was put away for a LONNNNNG time.

Would have been worse if they told the FBI guys that he was all set to basically kidnap Michael - I was thinking that at the time - I could see a least 3 bigger charges being laid on him had they said something. He's lucky they didn't!

I am soooo surprised that James DIDN'T SAY A DAMN THING!!!!!! Knowing the James that we know, don't you all agree he should have said something???? He was so angry abt the guy who "assaulted" Thelma in the "gun" episode!!!! Yeah, I know she is his daughter, but what difference does it make when it's your daughter or son who has just been hurt, in any way shape or form?

[nerrad]

Or maybe James was....scared?

[Pus$y Galore]

I know - I was fully expecting James to say more.

I don't think he was scared - when he turns Cleatus over, you can see the anger in his eyes still - you know how his nostrils would flare? LOL

Yeah, I really thought he would have made sure they threw the book at him - especially they way they were all set to take him into their home, knowing full well the cops were looking for him, and he turned around and did what he did to them.

I would have liked to see James open up a can of whoop-ass on him!

He should have. The same way he wanted to see Mad Dog get the book thrown at him (didn't James say those words?)? Come on now, family or not, if that s**t had happened in my house to my kids, OH MAN, DON'T GET THIS B***H STARTED NOW!!!! MY NOSE WOULD FLARE, MY EYES WOULD LOOK LIKE DAGGERS, THE COPS WOULD END UP ARRESTING ME FOR BEATING THE S**T OUTTA CLEATUS!!!!!!!! No way with James, the writers messed up big time here. James was out of character here. There is no sympathy for Cleatus the way it was for Mad Dog. Mad Dog as bad as he was, he was raised without a father, believing that the gang was his family. James felt so sorry for him in the end. Cleatus deserved no sympathy. Cleatus was just a typical A**HOLE who didn't want to work for a cause, didn't want to WORK PERIOD!!!!!
