Eddie Sherman Ned Bellamy as Eddie Sherman, Seinfeld He is actually one of the most fearless actors around, just for the wide range he exhibits in his choice of roles. Depp has spent more time in the make-up chair than he has in front of the camera. The JRT in ‘The Mask’ is so funny! Edward Sissorhands Edward Sissorhands from the movie of the same name.Īlthough not weird for a Johnny Depp vehicle, this film came right out of left field and captured the hearts of millions of moviegoers. I love dogs, especially Jack Russell Terriers. So this is an example that actually ‘breaks my original premise’, but that’s OK. One of the cutest, and smartest dogs on the small screen. Eddie the dog on Frasier Eddie the Dog – Frasier Here is a link to one of his best videos from Second City TV, called ‘Whatever Happend to Baby Ed’, a take-off on ‘Whatever Happened to Baby Jane’, one of the weirdest films ever, staring Bette Davis, and that’s saying something.Īpparently, one of his lifetime goals is to be a personal friend of Pat Sajak, host of the “Wheel of Fortune”. Ed Grimley Martin Short as “Ed Grimley” of SCTVĮd Grimley is one of the most original characters I’ve ever come across, I must say! The amazing thing was he was a 300 point bowler. He was a fan of heavy-metal rock bands, and he hung posters in his cubical of Black Sabbath, and Megadeath, on which he added all these voice bubbles so the rock musicians would be saying things like ‘Bugs, bugs, give me more bugs!’ (In case you have been living in a cave since 1960, a ‘bug’ is a software fault that needs to be corrected.) He sure made me laugh, though.Īs a software tester for Phoenix Technologies, it was his job to find bugs and report them to the software engineers, which was my job. Obviously, he wasn’t raised in a military family, like I was. Every time.Īctually, I have never known anyone that young without the least bit of self consciousness, even around adults 30 years his senior. Ed voice ‘Willburrrrr’ every time he passed my cubical. Technically not an Eddie, but I will never forget or forgive him.Īn intern at one of my jobs, a young man of 19 years old or so, would snort, whinny, and say in his best Mr. Then they all went around trying to act normal, unlike the Adams Family, where the characters reveled in their weirdness. They threw in one normal daughter, for contrast, I guess. I always considered ‘The Munsters’ as a 2nd-rate knock-off of ‘The Adams Family’, which had the strangest relatives (one character was just a severed hand.) ‘The Munsters’ were just all the well-known movie monsters collected together in one family (Frankenstein’s monster, Bride of Frankenstein, wolf-boy, Dracula). I’m glad I didn’t get that widow’s peak, or have Herman or Lily as my parents. What can I say about a fairly normal sounding kid who is also a werewolf? Let’s call up some girls and pretend we’re talent scouts.” Eddie Munster – The Munsters Eddie Munster from ‘The Munsters’ “Look Sam, if you can make the other guy feel like a goon first, then you don’t feel like so much of a goon.” He was always nice and polite to the parents, a wise-guy to the Beaver, and a cynical joke to Wally, but not someone to be trusted (not that he fooled anyone, particularly June and Ward, Beaver’s and Wally’s parents.Īs an adult, the actor, Ken Osmond, actually worked as an LAPD police officer.

While watching television shows as a child my desire to distance myself from the name ‘Eddie’ began to grow. Later in life, as I matured, I used the shortened form ‘Ed’, but to this day people can’t understand what I’m saying when I introduce myself, which often elicits a response such as: ‘Did you say Andy?’ Careful you don’t bite your tongue accidentally. The problem with these two versions is that they both end with the letter ‘D’, which is difficult to say when the next word starts with a ‘T’. The abbreviated form of ‘Edward’, is ‘Ed’. ‘Eddie’ works well with my last name, which starts with a ‘T’, mostly because it is easy to say. This was a common, perfectly acceptable name for a child of the 50’s. ‘Guardian of Fortune’: Not bad as names go. I guess this is why my wife calls me ‘EdWeird’.
