Judge Reinhold

[ER]

This man---and this is a scientific fact--- was in 8-percent of all movies released between 1984 and 1987, and yet he has never been seen since by anyone, even the IRS. Why isn't this clear case of celebrity abduction by the folks chasing Randy Quaid better known?

Seriously, what a strange career trajectory he had. I wonder if he spilled a drink on some Hollywood big shot or flirted with a Mobster's wife

Just thinking about him today.

He was arrested at an airport in 2016 and hasn't had a film released since 2017.

He was seriously talented, too -  a perfect straight man for Eddie Murphy.
Always did wonder why his career fizzled.

well with old Randy he did do another film not that long ago a couple years i think? i have not seen it so i dunno how big or small of a part he was in it. with Judge maybe he retired from acting? you never did hear an announcement from Gene Hackman when he quit movies though years later he did confirm it in interviews.

they are suppose to make one more Beverly Hills Cop film with Eddie and last i heard John Ashton is going to come back. in the trivia on IDMB it says that Judge turned it down to be in another Santa Claus film that never was made. so who knows?

Randy isn't in movies anymore because he's a wingnut.

That's not his craziest performance by a long shot. Back in 2015 he either had sex (or simulated it) with his wife on camera while she held a picture of Rupert Murdoch over her face.

to be fair part of his stupidity in recent years isn't all his fault some of it let's be fair is his wife's fault i think she had part in it too.  if i recall and you can correct me if i'm wrong but wasn't it her fault why they ran in the 1st place cause of some stupid sh*t she did ?  so had he just turned her in to take a guess he may have a career.  if my memory is right on this

We're off topic but yeah, his problems all seem to have started when he met his crazy current wife. You can review the whole R. Quaid story here: https://youtu.be/wzEds7mysMs

true i just didn't want to put all the blame on him that's all. but i grew up watching Judge Reinhold's films and i'd say out of all of them i want to say my favorite one is prolly Pandemonium (1982)  i just love that film there's just something about it that still makes me laugh the gas Chamber where the inmates had taken over the prison and they put the Warden in the gas Chamber where you than see a big fat guy sit on the Toilet and they put her in a room behind her that still makes me laugh

Fast Times!

[pennywise37]

yeah fast times is great but i dunno which one i love more fast times does not have the house of bad pies like Pandemonium does though

He was "The Close Talker" on Seinfeld.

has he retired from acting? last i had heard about him is he had turned down the Next/last Beverly Hills Cop 4 to do the next Santa Claus film that was at least 5 years ago and he hasn't done anything in about that time i don't think.
