Uncle Rico & Seinfeld

[snoscythe]

Anyone ever notice that Uncle Rico from Napolean Dynamite is also Rusty the Rickshaw Driver/Thief from Seinfeld?

I just noticed tonight when I was watching Seinfeld reruns.

Uncle Rico has shown up in tons of stuff: Lost, Sons of Anarchy, Psych, Supernatural, Cold Case, CSI:NY, Taken, Taken 2, Stick It, Las Vegas, The Rundown, 24, ER, Men in Black, The X-Files, the list goes on and on.

Good eye. Good find. I've alway wondered if he ever got any work doing anything else. I thought he was hilarious in Napoleon Dynamite.

I gotta give credit to Sno and Schmoe - excellent info. Funny stuff.

Yeah, he's been working pretty much non-stop as an actor since '76.

I just found it interesting that he, as a bit actor, has played two fairly significant roles in pop culture.

Now I know who Uncle Rico is.
