In Memoriam, Carl Weathers

Not always a fan of the ‘in memoriam’ bandwagons, but I liked Carl Weathers, especially for his lesser known roles. In Arrested Development, he played a cheapskate acting coach who saved eaten-over chicken bones for stews, bought cars only at police auctions, and always tried to find his way onto someone else’s tab. What’s additionally funny about this role, aside from his great performance, was the fact he actually helped create the character: he deliberately wanted the character to be a humorously-cheap acting coach. Clips abound, but one funny one is below. In memoriam!
