Craig McTavish' Merkin
He was a part of The Committee, an improv group, in the late 60s. He used the name Don Sturdy. They were featured in the movie Billy Jack. This was long before Cheech and Chong.

He played a big rock star in a scene from Spinal Tap.
Terry Ladd : Yeah, listen, we'd love to stand around and chat, but we've gotta... sit down in the lobby and wait for the limo.
Derek Smalls : Ok.

I know him mostly from WKRP of course, but when I was a kid, I also loved him on Head of the Class.
Dr. Johnny Fever. One of the most iconic characters in TV history.

Sad news. WKRP was one of my favorite shows when I was a kid, and Johnny Fever was my favorite character.
And I totally forgot that was him in Spinal Tap. Hilarious.

I don't think so.
A few years ago my kids bought me the box set, which included all the original music. Often WKRP has the original music scrubbed and replaced.

good point. the music rights probably make it too expensive for anyone to pick up.

I remember him as Cmmdt Lassard's brother on Police Academy.
And he was in Flight of the Navigator, too.

Johnny is an absolute icon and maybe underappreciated when it comes to TV history. There might have been better TV shows (not many) but no better characters.
In many ways, WKRP feels like the template for many modern shows and their variety of offbeat characters.

Great actor. He played in a ton of roles and it was always great to se him appear here and there. But I will always remember him in the WKRP Drunk Test. By far my favourite episode!
