I love that film.

Is he the guy that comes out of the office saying things like "What is that ruckus?" etc...?

If it is, you're right he was great in that film. He was also great in Not Another Teen Movie, where he played the principal in an exact spoof of the Breakfast Club detention scene, it's genius :bow:

RIP.:)

He was in Trading Places too which was pretty good.

In fact, it's the only decent film Eddie Murphy's ever been in.

I have never seen The Breakfast Club, but I know that the film is iconic. RIP.

In Die Hard (the first one), he's the clueless LA lieutenant who butts in on the proceedings and helps to make a mess of things. My favorite line of all time from that movie is delivered by him: "I guess we're gonna need some more FBI guys" :rofl:

I liked how they had him spoof his role from the Breakfast Club, in "Not Another Teen Movie".

He was also in a bunch of TV shows. He will be missed.
