(To clarify I mean the original movie, not the sequel)
Isn’t Knight the guy who does the cameo sarcastically saying to Happy, “Well? We’re waiting…” He’s not listed in the cast on IMDB (not even in the uncredited section), it’s not listed on Knight’s wiki (which stops at 1980’s Caddyshack), and he’s not listed on the Happy Gilmore wiki. I searched “Ted Knight” and “Happy Gilmore” (both in quotes) on DuckDuckGo and got nothing good. And finally Claude and Gemini both are convinced he’s not in it.
I get that cameos are sometimes not listed, especially back in the 90s. But in our current age of completism I can’t tell if I’m just dead wrong and it’s a lookalike, or if he’s just one tier more uncredited than the other uncredited actors. Someone help me out here. If there’s no credible online source then at least let me know what you think. This conspiracy goes all the way to the top!!
(The image is also what I’m saying out loud as I wait for a response.)
Ted knight died of colon cancer in 1986, Happy Gilmore was released in 1996. It was Ted Knight that said that line but the movie was Caddyshack not Happy Gilmore.
Ah, thank you! 🙌 I guess just based on all the interrupting crowd in Happy Gilmore I connected him with that movie. Thanks for clearing that up.
both are golfing-centered movies; you can be forgiven for it since they’re essentially the same story. lol
I’m confused. This image / gif is from Caddyshack. TBH, I haven’t seen Happy Gilmore, so I’m not certain what scene you could be thinking of from that one.
Some interesting faces in the crowd. On the right, a very young Ben Stiller relative. Behind him, an elderly Forrest Gump who’s decided to do one last coast-to-coast run. :P
There’s even a sort of Jack Nicklaus / Arnold Palmer-looking guy to the left. All bases covered!
I think I see a young Kitty Foreman in the back.
