Cleatus - Happy Days- PORN STAR?????? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Ireneparalegal · 08-23-2005, 01:12 AM

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???

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.

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

nerrad · 08-23-2005, 09:34 AM

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

) 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!!

Wonderbug that was it!!!

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!!!

Brian Damage · 08-23-2005, 02:50 PM

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!!

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

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