Tonight, flipping through my channels, I came across this listing:
Cast your mind to The Road Warrior. Who comes immediately to mind?
I know, I know. It's these two guys, right?
It must be, because they're the ones listed first. Last billing goes to this unknown actor, Melvin Something-or-other…
What ever became of him, anyways?

If you've never had poutine — if you don't know what poutine is — it's a French Canadian food, consisting of French fries, gravy, and cheese curds.
