Who is that guy? Oh, it’s Curtis Armstrong!

Who is that guy? Oh, oh, oh… I know, I know! It’s BOOGER! Well, not exactly. It’s actually Curtis Armstrong, beloved character actor who until recently seemed to have vanished. Actually, he didn’t disappear at all. Armstrong has been staying rather busy, both in films and on TV. Having “busted out” as Miles in ‘Risky Business’ (1983) and then winning us over as the unforgettable Booger in ‘Revenge of the Nerds’ (1984) he has firmly placed himself in a niche market of el charactero marketo.

Personally, I think Armstrong’s portrayal of Charles De Mar along side John Cusack in ‘Better Off Dead’ (1985) is equally as memorable as Booger, but when ‘Revenge of the Nerds officially became a bankable franchise in 1987, he fixed his fate as forever Booger. Oh, to diverge into the world of tubular visions, we now come to the glorious dramedy that was ‘Moonlighting’ which ran 10 episodes featuring Herbert Quentin Viola, the awkwardly lovable office temp turned sidekick to David and Maddie so immortalized by Curtis Armstrong. If only he’d stayed around a little longer.

Then came ‘Revenge of the Nerds’ a third time (1992)… and a fourth time (1994) and the 90’s ultimately proved to be somewhat slim pickens for our buddy Curtis. Hopping from obscure kid movies to several single episode sitcom appearances, it seemed as though Curtis may be down for the count. This would continue through to the new millennium, until he landed a recurring role on the TV series ‘The Chronicle’ as Pig Boy. In a sot of tongue-in-cheek comeback homage to ‘Revenge of the Nerds’, Armstrong would remind us of his presence as the Campus Cop in the very popular college comedy ‘Van Wilder’ (2002).

A few more various roles under his belt and we find him playing Mr. Ralph in ‘Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story’ (2004). Armstrong would find a renewed sense of hope in 2006 with a recurring role in ‘Boston Legal’ along with roles in ‘Southland Tales’ and ‘Smokin Aces’. Armstrong currently sweetens the animated TV pie with a recurring role as Snot on ‘American Dad!’ Look for Curtis Armstrong to appear in a new road comedy called ‘Route 30’ followed by a role in a new thriller anthology called ‘Locker 13’ which is currently in production. What more does Curtis have to offer? What role(s) would be perfect for him? What was his best work? Would you like to see more of Curtis Armstrong?
