'Where'd you get that jacket?'
Ah, Stu Nahan. We loved you, even though I wonder how many fans out there know it was your voice they heard in our favorite movies.
Nahan died this week at 81 in his home in Los Angeles. The former minor-league hockey played turned sports broadcaster is best known to us for playing a TV commentator in every Rocky movie ("What ... is ... keeping ... Rocky ... up?!?") but also for similar roles in "Private Benjamin," "CHiPs," "Baywatch" and many more projects.
But alas, to me, he'll always be remembered for Jeff Spicoli's dream sequence in "Fast Times at Ridgemont High."
