Does Actor Michael J. Pollard Resemble Joe Piscopo & Hugh Hefner?
1Bonnie And Clyde (1967) actor Michael J. Pollard may resemble Joe Piscopo and Playboy Magazine editor Hugh Hefner (who may in-turn resemble comedian Bob Hope). The 2 can be associated in a 2017 documentary on comedian Gilbert Gottfried entitled "Gilbert". A joke Piscopo told at a 2001 roast of Hefner is covered in the film.
Connections:
Pollard & Hefner had parts in works based on The Toxic Avenger. Pollard played Psycho in the Toxic Crusaders animated TV series. Hefner played the President (of America) in the movie Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger IV (2000).
Alternatively, I thought Michael J.Pollard may resemble comedian Joe Piscopo & talk show host Bob Hope. Piscopo was considered for 1985 comedy Spies Like Us, to play the role opposite Dan Aykroyd. Bob Hope had a role in this as a golfer.
"Bob Hope's Superbowl Party", a skit in a 1983 episode of TV comedy sketch show Saturday Night Live featured Rock Moranis as movie director Woody Allen, Joe Piscopo as singer Frank Sinatra & Dave Thomas as Bob Hope.
Connections:
Michael J. Pollard had collaborations with several Saturday Night Live actors including Steve Martin in Roxanne (1987) & Scrooged in 1989 with Bill Murray.
Piscopo and Pollard both appeared in episodes of the Star Trek sci-fi TV series over the years. Pollard was in 1966 episode "Miri" with actress Kim Darby. Piscopo played a holographic comedian in The Outrageous Okona a 1988.
Piscopo and Pollard also appeared in separate movies with Star Trek actor Robert Picardo who played a holographic doctor in the Star Trek Voyager TV series (1995). Piscopo & Picardo were in Dead Heat (1988). Pollard & Picardo were in road trip comedy Motorama (1991).
