    • Trivia
      Played the father in the intro to the Twisted Sister music video "We're Not Gonna Take It," reprising his sadistic, saliva-spraying ROTC "Neidermeyer" persona and line from National Lampoon's Animal House (1978), "You're all worthless and weak!".
    • Quotes
      [on if he considers himself a Method actor] Oh, sure. I mean, everyone is a Method actor. Everybody has their own method. Some people play cards all the time. Some people, you know, hang out at the crafts service table. My method is to immerse myself in the character as much as possible ... 24/7. If I can.
    • Trademark
      Best known as the screaming frat-bully Douglas Neidermeyer in Animal House which he later parodyed for the Twister Sister videos "We're Not Gonna Take It" and "I Wanna Rock"
