Claim: Roy Brocksmith, nerdy, pudgy appearance, and effete mannerisms made him perfect for comic roles, played in roles such as Dr. Parker in Big Business (1988), Mike the Mailman in Scrooged (1988), Deputy James in Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey (1991) and Stan in Rent Control (1981).
Evidence: Brocksmith's nerdy, pudgy appearance, and effete mannerisms made him perfect for comic roles, particularly in the late '80s and 1990s. Among his more prominent roles are the duplicitous Dr. Edgemar in Total Recall, a police sergeant possessed by Bill in Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey, principal Michael Oslo in Picket Fences and jovial mortician Irv Kendall in Arachnophobia. 1988 Big Business Dr. Parker 1988 Scrooged Mike the Mailman 1991 Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey Deputy James 1981 Rent Control Stan
