Jim Ignatowski

Christopher Lloyd is probably one of my favorite actors of all time.

I mean, because you think about it, he played, was it Ignatowski in Taxi? He played the Klingon villain in Star Trek III.

He played Doc Brown.

He played Judge Doom.

He also was...

Ricardo Maltabon? Jim on Taxi.

Uncle Fester.

Oh, it's Christopher Lloyd.

1235.

Let's go to the phones.

On the Jim's Razorback Pizza hotline, this weekend Central Arkansas is hosting UTRGV.

That is Texas.

Ringling Brothers' greatest show on earth buys Barnum & Bailey Circus, 1907.

Christopher Lloyd, American Academy Award winning actor, Taxi, Reverend Jim, Back to the Future, born in Stamford, Connecticut, Great Scott, Great Scott, 1938.

He was born, still going I believe, Don Lane, American-born Australian television personality.

He dies on this day in 2009.

I didn't know Angelica Houston, but I knew Christopher Lloyd.

I mean, I'd seen Back to the Future, and honestly, I'd even seen some Taxi, so I also knew him as Reverend Jim, you know? And I think I had already seen

Roger Rabbit by that point.

Clue would have been out by this point, too.

And then you fast-forward all these years later, she's doing another Western with Christopher Lloyd- [laughs] ... and now he's the romantic lead.

And you would think, he did Doc Brown, he did Professor Plum, he did Jim Ignatowski famously.

He was in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

He'd been a, a, kind of a journeyman actor for so long.

I remember distinctly, because I was still, when this movie came out, I was still kind of young enough to, that I still had to go see movies with my parents, or one of my parents had to a- accompany us.

And I remember my mom kind of giggling at the notion of Reverend Jim from Taxi being a Klingon, and how she [laughs] was unable to kind of separate that performance from his performance as a Klingon.

But did you think he was an effective Klingon, or no?

Not particularly.

One of my-

Jim Ignatowski.

Jim, o- o- one of my all-time favorite characters from the series Taxi.

Yeah, Jim Ignatowski.

We were talking, just chatting amongst ourselves about funniest moments in episodes.

One of the funniest, in my, in my opinion, you know, I could think about funny moments in TV history, like, "With God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly." Anybody? Anybody?

A classic.

Yes.

Christopher Lloyd.

Christopher Lloyd, the… He's the professor in Back to the Future and he was in Reverend Jim in Taxi Driver.

He was a lovely man.

I used to do the job of the third AD sometimes to have it fitted in, which was picking up the actors and driving them to the location.
