* DeathByCameo: Nearly happened to him. The Chiodo brothers, during production of ''Film/KillerKlownsFromOuterSpace'' wanted Soupy to play the security guard who gets killed (appropriately enough) by acidic pies. However, the studio declined to bring him in, believing the audience would not recognize him.
