I was just thinking recently, I feel like we should hear this guy's name more often. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Anderson Maybe you already do, if you follow the View Askew universe stuff closely.

All I mean is, I'm not sure that Kevin Smith would have been a success, if not for this guy. He (Jeff A) was the funniest part of Clerks, IMHO. He had great comic timing, and just a really good presence that defined his character.

Looking at his wikipedia page, I see that he has stayed involved with View Askew stuff, over the years.
So, good for him. I just hope he gets credit for doing more than his share, in keeping the first Clerks movie moving along.

It is totally different from what I'm about to say, but it does remind me of it. Michael Biehn should get more credit than he does, for the success of The Terminator. Both Arnold and James Cameron would have become successful anyway, of course, but Michael Biehn's performance in The Terminator helped them both a LOT. He had to communicate the entire backstory of the situation to Sarah Connor, and to us, the audience. Without his intensity, and his whole "tough love" approach to Sarah in the early part of the movie, people wouldn't have fully comprehended the significance of Arnold's terminator.

So. Yah. Nothing to do with Jeff Anderson, but, they remind of each other in that way.
