Re: Taylor Negron RIP

Sad news. He always popped up in random projects and did a good job in them including Fresh Prince, Curb, also a segment in The Aristocrats.

Re: Taylor Negron RIP

Looking at his IMDB page he was in an awful lot of garbage but I always enjoyed seeing him pop up in movies and TV shows. I remember him best from The Last Boy Scout and Nothing But Trouble. He was great in both.

Sad. Though a small role, I remember him best from Better off Dead. RIP.

I'll always remember him mostly from the video game Double Switch. I can't even imagine the hours I've spent playing that.

Re: Taylor Negron RIP

In the audio commentary for The Aristocrats, a mancrush on him was mentioned. Dare I say I had the same thing.

But yeah, he's most remembered for Last Boy Scout. For a while there, I even said, "Hey, Motherfucker" the same exact way he said it.

He was always popping up in '80s movies. Too young.

Re: Taylor Negron RIP

Looking over his IMDB page, I'm left very confused.
When I first saw Fast Times in '82, I was surprised to see him as the delivery man because it was a nano second, nothing walk on part, which was a step down from from a whole bunch of TV stuff I had seen him in (none of which I'm seeing listed on his IMDB page). I could have sworn he showed up in a ton of late 70's Spelling shows and their ilk, for instance. He was an easy guy to remember as he had a very unique (or as I thought at the time, kinda creepy) character face. He stood out in an era of still mostly wasp-y, or more common ethnic/racial types.

The genius of Taylor Negron was his utter lack of genius. RIP man.

He was the man. He was so bad. Always loved seeing him pop up in films. Even in recent trash like Vamps, reprising his role as the pizza dude. Bummer.

Rest in Pepperoni.

Re: Taylor Negron RIP

I only remember him as Elaine's hairdresser in "The Smelly Car" episode of Seinfeld. Loos like he's been in a lot of stuff.

RIP.

My brother and I still refer to big drinks from convenience stores as "Bladder Busters" because of Bio-Dome.

RIP.
