"Weird Al" Yankovic's UHF


That's right, Billy Barty, "Noodles MacIntosh" from "Weird Al" Yankovic's UHF, was a dyed-in-the-wool Mormon. The small man walked softly but carried a big camera in this off-the-wall silliness epic. He even gets to trip a yuppie and make him and his fancy, expensive suit fall into a mud puddle at the end of the movie. That's entertainment!

You may also recognize him from WILLOW, BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN, LEGEND, FOUL PLAY, MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE, and countless others. Name ONE other Mormon who acted in movies with Boris Karloff AND Tom Cruise AND "Wierd Al" Yankovic! Go ahead, try! He passed away in 2000 and was, by all accounts, a really cool guy.
