Just saw Eric Estrada doing an infomercial
So sad. I remember when he was big. Guess the poor guy is going the way of MC Hammer.

5. he had to learn español to get those gigs, i heard
actually from IMDb:
"Played in a Mexican "telenovela" (soap opera) in the early '90's. Unlike many characters he's played, Estrada doesn't speak Spanish, so his lines were fed to him over an earphone during production."

"Dos mujeres, un camino" (Two Women, One Road)

7. A show on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim
There as a bad cartoon in the 70's called Sealab 2020. Sealab 2021 takes place one year later..only the people in the sealab are insane. Very funny show. Catch new episodes on Sun. night.

Ellis Henican, columnist for Newsday, does the voice of Stormy.

6. What was the infomercial?
He was also in the second season of The Surreal Life with Tammy Faye and
Vanilla Ice. He's gained weight but he's still hot! ;-)

11. That is SAD.
at least he's still famous enough to get a gig...I saw him do an infomercial in the mid 90s for psome psychic netwaok...that's how I knew about Dos muheres, un camino, because part of his claim was that a psychic TOLD him he was gonna get that job.

I like him because he is like William Shatner, in that he does not take himself too seriously. Good thing.

13. He didn't even shave for the gig
he had a healthy 5 o'clock shadow going. Looked like he rolled out of bed to do it.

I like him too. I saw him live years ago in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. He seemed very sweet. Shatner I like as well, but I'm not too sure he's a nice guy in private.

12. I saw Roger daltrey doing an infomercial for 70's rock
he looked awful, like he's had a facelift from a crappy plastic surgeon.
