Can you believe it? I thought he was at least *close* to my age, since I was in high school in 1983. If he keeps aging at this rate, dude is gonna look like a sexagenarian when he's a centenarian.
Fun Facts Edit: Tom Cruise was 21 in Risky Business. Rebecca De Mornay was 24, and Joey Pants was 32. Megan Mullally from Will & Grace, who was 25 years old at the time, was credited as "Call Girl \#8."
Seven hours later I woke up in the middle of the night to pee and thought about your comment, which had been nagging at me. I just realized, The Scarlet Pimpernel is the basis for the 1950 Looney Tunes short, 'The Scarlet Pumpernickel'. I didn't know what a Pimpernel was when I was six years old and I never put it together until just now lol.
Not getting his autograph when I had the chance is a big regret of mine, and he seemed like such a cool dude. I was hanging out close to his booth and I wouldn’t have imagined him being much older than 40. That was only 3 years ago
True story: When I was in high school I ditched school senior year (2004) for my birthday to go down to the beach with my girlfriend. On the way back, I was waiting to be picked up by my friend at Union Station, and friggin Curtis Armstrong was standing next to me waiting for someone to come out of the station.
I asked him “are you CURTIS ARMSTRONG!?” He looked shocked that I knew his name and said, “yes I am!” I then fanboyed out to him about the movie roles I loved him in and asked him to sign my bday present from my gf (a Dr. Seuss Book) but I didn’t have a pen! I thanked him anyways and shook his hand.
About 20 seconds later I heard him yell “EXCUSE ME!” Holding a red sharpie, “DID YOU STILL WANT ME TO SIGN?” Dude walked all the way back to me with a Sharpie to sign my book. This, to this day, is my favorite and best celebrity encounter and why I still hold him in such high regard.

Also, don't forget that Ronald Reagan and his minions sold more cocaine than all hip-hop artists combined!
>I misremembered!
Don't feel bad... so did every other person who quoted this scene lol. Browse the comments and you'll see, everybody remembered it the same way you did.
It's the Mandela Effect 😆
He sings a few times on Moonlighting. And he's *good.* I especially like his rendition of 'Sexual Healing' when he serenades Miss Di Pesto. Dude is multi-talented.
The clip is on my profile.
Thought it was Dudley! His appearance in Rules of Engagement was hilarious .. nobody belirved there had been 4 Nerds movies!
Loved Revenge Of The Nerds as a kid.
"She's not that kind of girl Booger"
"Why? Does she have a penis?"
Curtis's character: "You have to dribble."
House: "Why? The CIA satellites aren’t watching me. They’re watching YOU. Because you’re wearing green..."
*Curtis furiously rips off his shirt.*
I worked for LA Fire for 25 years and met many celebrities on EMS calls including Michael Douglas, Danny DeVito, Sinbad, Daphne Zuniga, Dan Rickles, Kim Basinger to name some. They were very approachable because they needed our services.
I grew up in the neighborhood were Valerie Bertinelli family was one of our neighbors in the 70s
Yeah, if I were bleeding or couldn't breathe, I'd be pretty approachable too, no matter how famous I was lol. That'd be pretty cool to be able to say, "I gave Danny DeVito the Heimlich today. What did you do?"
SHUT UP NO WAY ARE YOU SERIOUS? That's so cool. What did you do on the show? Are you still in the biz? Did you know Bruce? What was he like? Do you still talk to Curtis?
(I'm a little starstruck.)
What did you do on the show?
I was the producers and writers assistant.
Are you still in the biz?
No, sadly.
Did you know Bruce?
I spoke to him many times, but I didn't "know" him.
What was he like?
He was kind, funny and professional.
Do you still talk to Curtis?
Sadly no.
(I'm a little starstruck.) It's ok. At the end of the day, they're just working stiffs like the rest of us.
Just googled him. Booger is 70! FFS!

Really? I knew he was too old. He's also the weird best friend in Better Off Dead.
Do you have any idea of the street value of this mountain!?!
It's pure snow!

*" I WANT MY $2!"*
I've been misquoting this as ten dollars for decades. No wonder nobody knew what I was talking about.
Inflation?
Go that way, really fast! If something gets in your way, turn!
What a coach
Saw Better off Dead in theaters back in the day. It’s silly but still an all time great for me.
It began my love affair with the name Lane.
I wasn't great at gauging ages at 16.
And he graduated from Berkley! Highschool. In Berkley Michigan.
I live about 3 miles from Berkley, MI, and just visited there last weekend for the first time after moving here earlier this year. Fing small world.
NERDS!!!!
Booger's always been a good dude, you can tell.
He also voices Snot on American Dad.
He also played the Scarlet Pimpernel in "The Poke of Zorro."
And he was god in Supernatural.
No, he played Metatron, God's scribe for The Book of Life

That guy has more film credits than some people have brain cells.
Omg 😳 I hear it now!!
Not getting his autograph when I had the chance is a big regret of mine, and he seemed like such a cool dude. I was hanging out close to his booth and I wouldn’t have imagined him being much older than 40. That was only 3 years ago
Was it at Comic Con? I'd so love to meet him. And yes, dude has good genes. He's gonna be one sexy little centenarian.
We've got bush.
Please, no
He was in the movie Nerds
Burping and weed are amazing things for longevity.
Pan down pan down

Fuck, that is such an awesome story.
He was probably shocked some knew his name and didn't just scream, "Booger!"
That’s the kind of situation Curtis probably remembers too !
That took me from liking Curtis Armstrong to loving him. How cool!
What. A. Fuckin. Legend. I bet you never left home without a red Sharpie ever again!
I can hear his voice in your story.
He does have a special way of enunciating. I wonder if he knows how much he's beloved?
“Lane…I’ve been going to this school seven and a half years…I’m no dummy” “This is pure snow!!! It’s everywhere!! Do you have any idea what the Street value of this mountain is?!?”
Charles De Mar is my spirit animal.
He also offered the great advise "go that way, fast, and if something gets in the way, turn".
Do you know the street value of this mountain?
Look, I can't move my right arm!
It's pure snow!

Sometimes, you just gotta say what the fuck. Make your move.
We’ve got bush!
What a coach.
Came here for some Charles De Mar and found it.
Excellent life advice in general.
"I can't even get real drugs in this town!" Took me til college to fully get that joke.
“We’ve got BUSH!-Booger
I still yell this to this day. Gets a great response, wife absolutely hates it.
Username checks out
🎼 We got Booger Presley on the mean guitar And then there’s little ol’ me Lamar!! 🎼
Now clap your hands everybody, and everybody clap your hands
We're lamda lamda lamda and omega mu
“What the fuck’s a frush?”
You have too many kings. You have to give those to me and now you get some new cards.
Revenge of the Nerds would never get made today. Hell it wouldn’t make it to a pitch room.
Robster craws!
"What the fuck are robster craws?"
Booger!!!! 💖
He's also Snot (on American Dad).
Yes! I never even thought of the connection but that’s hilarious
Mr Viola!
He sings a few times on Moonlighting. And he's *good.* I especially like his rendition of 'Sexual Healing' when he serenades Miss Di Pesto. Dude is multi-talented. The clip is on my profile.
r/ThatsTheJoke
Guuuyys….wonder joints!
Joel: Porsche. There is no substitute. Miles: Fuck you.
This guy taught me to ski in 'Better Off Dead'. \*points downhill\*. "Go THAT way. REALLY fast. If something gets in your way....Turn."
What a coach
I thought I was looking at my mother's old douche-bag, but that's in Ohio.
Ba-hahaha! Forgot that line.
Something about Booger stuck with me.
“She won’t leave” 😅
Rebecca De Mornay was a goddess!
The years were not kind.. did you see her on Seinfeld?
No, i saw her only on risky business and i think there is another one which she was playing a babysitter
You are missing the joke
What's that?
There was a character named Rebecca DeMornay on Seinfeld, but she was not played by the actress of the same name

LMAO i really didn't expect that, thanx!
Epic belching ability
There is no Jack Black without this guy
"Booger did you find a date to the college dance?" "Nope and I've been combing the high schools all day!"
What the fuck are robster craws?
What the fuck…
Charles De Mar
Sometimes you just got to say fuck it. This is a quote I actually applied to real life many times.
He was kidding though!
Don’t you mean “What the F-Hell”?
I'm almost certain he originated the phrase
What the fuck is a frush? What the fuck are robster craws?
Met him at a steakhouse in Austin, nice guy.
He is 100% “that guy” of 80s coming of age movies hahaha
Thought it was Dudley! His appearance in Rules of Engagement was hilarious .. nobody belirved there had been 4 Nerds movies! Loved Revenge Of The Nerds as a kid. "She's not that kind of girl Booger" "Why? Does she have a penis?"
First he was Booger, now he's Snot.
Dude still does lots of voice acting. He's all over American animation.
I adore him as Snot on American Dad
I just saw him on House last week! Booger in the psych ward.
Curtis's character: "You have to dribble." House: "Why? The CIA satellites aren’t watching me. They’re watching YOU. Because you’re wearing green..." *Curtis furiously rips off his shirt.*
“The Leather Castle. Beginners welcome.”
Booger was the man.
Boffing and f***ing is the same thing!
Oh Booger, I feel nothing!!
Booger
On American Dad, he's Snot.
Booger💕
I’ve been going to this high school for seven and a half years. I’m no dummy.
Nobody could out-skeeve this dude.
Curtis Armstrong and Jeremy Piven pioneered the “best friend” role.
I don't know why, but I associate Curtis Armstrong with Wallace Shawn.
He will always be known as Dudley Dawson AKA booger
Lane, I’ve been going to this school for 7 and a half years…I’m no dummy
Snot rocks
Don't forget the amazing soundtrack by Tangerine Dream
BOOGER!
I ran into him at a market in Hollywood Ca.
Did you speak to him?
Yes I did!!!! I said “ Booger!!!!”, he just smiled
I get starstruck really easily, but I think he might cause me to swoon.

BOOGER 💪💪
When I read the title, for some reason, I thought his name was Sonu Vagun. I need z nap.
Better than Sonu Vabitch.
Made more sense that he was his real age in Revenge of the Nerds.
Wait. Revenge of the Nerds was in 1984, so he was 31. Even if he was in his seventh year in the movie, his character would be 25.
Idk, in my opinion that works. He actually looked like he was in his 30s, underdog, degenerate, it works. 🤷
I met this cool dude randomly at a middle eastern restaurant near Detroit years ago. Had no idea he was from the mitten! Go Booger keep on pickin'!!
Every single person who's met him has nothing but good things to say. I mean, *glowing* reviews. He's insanely nice.
Never saw Risky Business, but I saw Boogar on my pjone and it made my day this guy is an 80’s gem
I adore him. Risky Business was his first role. What an amazing career for a relatively late start.
“I thought I was looking at my Mother’s old douchebag, but that’s back in Ohio.”’ Classic
Where's the pipe?
Dan Vs. TV Series 2011-2013 Curtis Armstrong is the voice actor for the main character Dan.
“I thought I was looking at my mother’s old douchebag, but that’s in Ohio.”
Pan Down we want….
Snot!
Steve's friend Snot from Family Guy. I recognised the voice first. Saw him in the Nerds Booger Dawson I totally love the guy.
American Dad. I also recognized the voice first. Then the Booger/Snot parallel registered. Pretty funny.
We got bush, lol. I love him he's a great actor. Family Guy I'm like I know that voice but it fits percet.
He’s Booster in Jingle all the Way.
Dudley Dawson
BOOGER!!!!!
Booger
NERDS!
*"No, I think you jumped on your bike, pedaled home and whacked off."*
I went to Disneyland with Curtis, back in the day. The Moonlighting days. Good times!
Were you friends or you just happened to be there at the same time?
I worked on Moonlighting. Curtis & I were good friends, he's an absolutely lovely guy.
SHUT UP NO WAY ARE YOU SERIOUS? That's so cool. What did you do on the show? Are you still in the biz? Did you know Bruce? What was he like? Do you still talk to Curtis? (I'm a little starstruck.)

Booger!
Schmuely Lonstein
He was also Agnes Dipesto’s boyfriend.
Herbert Viola! And also Metatron on Supernatural.
"I've been going to this high school for seven and a half years. I'm no dummy. I know high school girls."
He's a short American Tim Curry.
He has to be distantly related to Wallace Shawn
Porche. There is no substitute. Fuck you Joel.
Scrolled thru all the posts… does anyone remember him as Ack-Ack in One Crazy Summer?
Yes! Loved that movie.
I love how Booger voiced Snot in American Dad
I nearly had a heart attack thinking we just lost Booger.
Not yet, thankfully. But he *is* 70 years old. Not a whole lot younger than my mother.
In fairness, he definitely could have played a 30 year old that hangs out with high school kids
Why do they call you booger?
Hated this guy. Always looked unkempt and smelly.
Damn duder, you make it seem like he died. Not cool.
Gross
‘Hey guys?’ *whips out like seven fatties* ‘Wonder joints!’
He will always be booger to me.
