He (and "Lenny") also had a good appearance in Used Cars.  Not really a car movie, but I certainly suggest it.  They were the tech geeks they hired to break into the presidential address with a commercial:

 

“- Rudy: You've seen how bad business is. Thanks to Fuchs, our name is mud! Look... we had nuns, protesting out front when I got here this morning.
- Jeff: Nuns?
- Rudy: Yeah. I had to have Jim turn the firehose on them.
- Big Jim: And I knocked them motherf---rs right on they asses, too.”

He managed to battle MS for 37 years, that's pretty heroic.

Oh man.  He was a great guy. He was a brave fighter, who IMO deserved more and better press.

I liked Laverne & Shirley, but I absolutely lit up as a kid when Lenny & Squiggy showed up. If your work still makes people laugh 40 years later, that's a good chance at immortality.

I really need to see that movie again.  It sounds way awesomer than I remember.

"Used Cars" is a lot like "Office Space". It's one of those movies that when you see it the first time it's pretty 'meh' but after a few viewings it gets way funnier.

Seriously funny.  Proof that most older TV sitcoms are just genius.
