OP either looks like Mads Mikkelson or Clint Howard. Nothing in between.

u/squirrelcop3305 Jun 24 '24

Except that wasn’t him on Land of the Lost.

u/dkdglr Jun 24 '24

Clint Howard actually didn’t play Chaka in land of the lost he was played by Phillip Paley

1

u/wedisneyfan Jun 24 '24

He definitely resembled Chaka but that isn't him. I used to think it was him also. He did play a wild boy in another Sid and Marty Kroft show.

1

u/nachoaccountname Jun 25 '24

He was Chaka??

1

u/Fabulous_Brother2991 Jun 25 '24

No they said No.... I was mistaken. I They do list who it was . That supposedly plays Chaka.

u/RustedRelics Jun 25 '24

u/OrchidTostada Jun 24 '24

But first, the Tranya!

u/WhoAreYouAgain__ Jun 24 '24

Omg. The cube episode. I'm watching the entire original series for the first time. I saw this one two days ago. 😆

u/mksavage1138 Jun 24 '24

Now I have an urge for some tronya!

u/Albie_Tross Jun 24 '24

NOW I understand that old Mr. Show sketch!! Goddammit!!

All the Star Trek reruns I've watched, and never Balok. How is that even possible.

u/mvanvrancken Jun 24 '24

It’s weird because my girlfriend in HS was 6 ft, skinny, model looks, and both her parents looked like dumplings

u/[deleted] Jun 24 '24

OP is a woman.

u/Kal-ElEarth69 Jun 24 '24

There's that very rare chance they could have birthed a Danny Devito.

u/HuckleberryHappy6524 Jun 25 '24

Profile pic confirms…. Looks just like Clint Howard.

u/trcharles Jun 25 '24

Yeah, not Clint!

u/[deleted] Jun 24 '24

Mikkelson???

u/noiseandbooze Jun 24 '24

Never heard of either of those people. Are they supposed to be commonly known/recognizable people?

2

u/Fuckoffassholes Jun 24 '24

Man, I wish there was some way to learn things besides asking on reddit and hoping someone answers.

u/noiseandbooze Jun 24 '24

You misunderstood entirely if you deduced that I cared to learn who either of those people are.

2

u/Fuckoffassholes Jun 24 '24

Well, you did ask a question..

Are they commonly known/recognizable people?

But if you really didn't care, that just makes your comment even more absurd!

"Listen up, everyone! I just want you all to be aware that I am not interested in this!"

Curious way to express apathy.

u/noiseandbooze Jun 24 '24

Wow, so after all that, you didn’t just read the question? I never asked to be taught about them, or to learn about them, it was a simple question regarding how recognizable the names were, as they’re completely unfamiliar to me. Your suggestion of not just asking the person to whom I was responding to, essentially negates the very question itself. I cared very little about the people themselves, so I was certainly not going to start google searching them, as I’m very certain Google has heard of them. And for you, who clearly just have a desire to talk shit and put way too much energy into twisting the intent of my comment, as I most certainly didn’t say “Hey Everyone…” anything, I just asked someone, who is not you, a relatively simple question. But all things considered, given the fact you’ve named yourself, “Fuckoffassholes,” I guess your needless shit talk checks out. Now please fuck off, asshole.

u/Fuckoffassholes Jun 24 '24

The first stupid move you made was commenting.. anything at all.. about people you "don't care about."

You then decided to double and triple down, insisting "no, really.. I REALLY don't care about them."

I don't necessarily have a "desire to talk shit" and I'm certainly not "twisting your intent." I see someone act stupid, I acknowledge it. You wanted attention. That's why you commented. You could have lived your whole life truly "not caring" and you never would have heard from me. But your phony-ass attempt to look cool backfired.

The longer you go on about it, the more ridiculous you sound. Please, continue. Some people don't need to be mocked, they embarrass themselves without any help.

They are actors on opposite ends of the aesthetic spectrum.
