Almost-but-not-quite-celebrity sighting

So I'm in line at the grocery store yesterday, minding my own business, when I look around and see someone familiar working the cash register in another checkout lane.

Who is that? How do I know him?

Man, it's bugging me. It's right on the tip of my tongue - and it's definitely him.

Dammit, who IS that?

Got it! It's Play - from Kid 'n Play!



Yep, same hair, same mustache, same face... that's him. I thought he had transitioned into a decent career - producing, or maybe doing cartoon voiceovers or something. But a checkout clerk at an Arlington, VA Giant?

After checking out, I start heading in his direction, thinking of what to say to him:

This doesn't exactly seem like it's "2 Hype".

I loved you in House Party. House Party 2, not so much.

Not much of a "Funhouse", is it?

Hey, what's Kid --

Wait, that's not Play. That's a 45-year old woman. Never mind.
