Most everyone knows him as the brilliant con-man who got the best of the obsessive compulsive Nicolas Cage in "Matchstick Men"...Or perhaps, for those of us who saw this brilliant film, you know him as the quite mentally diseased Chuck Barris from "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind. Most recently he played that annoying two headed guy Zaphod from "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy".
But I bet you didnt know that before he became a more serious actor, he was scared straight by Wayne Gretzky on steroids...who is of course better known as Casey Jones. When Casey and Danny were saving Splinter from the clutches of the Shredder, Sam was there, with the rest of the thugs, backing Master Tatsu himself.
After Master Tatsu was "driven" away by Casey himself, Sam was the one who wanted to stand up to Casey and teach him a lesson for fuckin with his "Father's" right-hand man. And I quote...
"We have a loyalty to the Shredder...we're a family."
So you see, Sam Rockwell wasnt always a renowned hollywood actor. He used to be a punk kid trying to work his way up in the footclan, who was scared straight by a washed-up hockey player with a golf club. It was a matter of minutes before he pointed the cops to the footclan's hideout and began his pursuit of an acting career. And look at him now.
I dont know what to do in this situation...Thank Casey Jones, or slap Sam Rockwell in the face and tell him what a pussy he is. I mean to be scared straight by Michealangelo, Donatello, Leonardo or Raphael would be one thing...but being scared straight by the man who fell for the "Ugly April" is worse then being talked into joining the good side by the Giant Rat version of Yoda...Danny!!!
