RIP Mike Henry, It looks like you and Jackie G. had a lot of fun in that movie.
But you were a star in your own right several times in several venues.


Tom V.

It always cracks me up when he talks to JG in the movie, first word is "Daddy"

boy - when we get home i'll smack your momma

RiP Mike Henry

OMG :eek: so sad...... RIP :(:(

Tarzan say Ongawa.
As a child who watched just about every Tarzan movie, I found it funny that all Tarzan voice commands to an animal were "Ongowa", no matter what he wanted them to do.

Ongowa, Mike - whatever that meant......

Tazmanian Devil and BugsBunny used to use that word in their lines with each other.
I guess that's where they got it from (tarzan)

"Henry died Jan. 8 at St. Joseph Medical Center in Burbank after many years of dealing with chronic traumatic encephalopathy and Parkinson’s disease brought on by the head injuries he suffered while playing in the NFL and at the University of Southern California."

Then it sure didn't help with Jackie Gleason smacking him in the head.

RIP Mike Henry. You did good. :usa2: And while your up there, kick Gleason in the buttocks every chance you get.... just to get even. :)

Mike retired from acting in 1988. A fellow Sheriff Justice car clone owner met Mike and had him sign his car a few years back.
