A fan letter — “36 years overdue”.
VOTE FOR LARRY CEDAR in “OFFICE THIEF” ad for Doritos… if it gets a million votes, you’ll get it into the Super Bowl Sunday commercial line-up!
****
I was a transfer student who came fresh off the boat from UC Santa Cruz… into the hard-core Communications Studies Department at UCLA, where pre-laws pushed for “A’s” and everybody knew everyone else’s business.
Larry Cedar was a Teacher’s Assistant in the Communications department, and everyone knew him. He had rusty hair, a handsome face, and an erect presence when he entered a classroom.
We all knew Larry was destined for greatness. He went on to have a big career as a character actor, and I just saw him in a prize-winning commercial that’s headed for Super Bowl Sunday.
I just found this fan letter buried in my files…and thought in honor of Super Bowl Sunday — and a teacher’s aide who made a difference — I’d share my respect.
