...go watch the movie Trading Places. They both have extended cameos as stoner Amtrak baggage handlers, and they're both hilarious. Lots of folks recognized Al Franken as one of the baggage handlers, but very, very few people realized that the other one was none other then Tom Davis.

He'll be sorely, sorely missed. Taken from us far too soon.
