I first encountered him when he encountered his next door neighbor - the vampire - in Tom Holland's immensely wonderful Fright Night in 1985. I've watched him in lots of stuff since, including his Fox sitcom Herman's Head and on the F/X series Justified. He's William Ragsdale, and he knows good pop culture blogging when he sees it.
Thank you Mr. Ragsdale!
Until next post - you Can Poke Me With A Herman's Head, Cause I Am Outta Here!
