39. Before L & S, David Landers was an integral part of a daily satirical "newscast" on an LA radio station that was perhaps the most inventive, funny thing to ever hit LA radio. He also played an hilarious character named (no kidding) Raymond Splotrose in a one-act play at about the same time. It does him a terrible disservice to call him "creepy" or anything of the sort. When he was working in the business, he was one of the most creative, funny guys around. Who knew he was a baseball guy??? Maybe he scouts for National Anthem singers???
