R.I.P. Alex Karras

Karras also played the Sheriff (and the Brother of the title character) in Porky's.

He also was under consideration for the part of Carlo Rizzi, the brother-in-law of the Corleone family, in The Godfather. Good job not casting him, hard to imagine James Caan giving him that street beating.

Lucky for Santino that Bart already invented the candygram, although he didn't get credit for it.

Interesting piece of trivia. Hadn't heard that one before.
