Just saw this movie for the first time on ABC Family. I would like to know if anyone knows the name of the actor who played the crewman that did the spot-on Sinatra impression? I think he was the sparks (radioman), the one that closed radio circuits with his body parts...He even looks like a young Sinatra. As a Sinatra impersonator myself, my hat's off to him.

Yea, you can find him on the show "Carnivale" on HBO now. He plays an avid gambler/ peep show peddler named Felix "Stumpy" Dreifuss. Its really quite a different role than anything I have ever seen him play before. Hi will also occasionally start singing on the show. Just not Sinatra since the show is based in 1934. Sinatra's music really didn't start coming around till the 50's.
shareYeah, and he's also a friend of my dad's. I met him a couple of times.
shareLucky for you BB!
He's also the voice of several hilarious characters on "King of the Hill".
Your dad is friends with Artie the strongest man in the world? i am so effing jealous right now.

Which voices has he done on King of the Hill? I love that show
shareHuss was also in Vegas Vacation playing a Sinatra-eqsue pitchman who sells Rusty fake I.D.'s.

He plays Cotton Hill and Kahn. Those are the two biggest characters he plays on KOTH.
shareI watched the special features on the Season 1 DVD. I've seen it before, but I didnt realize it was the same guy. He's a pretty cool guy
shareyeah on the season 1 dvd special features for some reason i kept watching the part where ge goes "im MEAN...NASTY..and LOUD" also when mike judge describes the message on his voicemail that influenced boomhauer. "dang old loony tunes"

He is also in Jerry Maguire with Tom Cruise. He is the hockey player laying in the hospital who's son gives Tom Cruise the finger!
shareHe also does that Sinatra impression on the Vegas strip in "National Lampoon's Vegas Vacation". Dead on!
shareHis Harry Caray impersonation wasn't bad either.
The posting of your question did generate a continuing discussion about Huss, true. But as to the question itself...
Seriously?!? This is IMDB, you were a single click away from just looking at the cast list where he is listed, and you couldn't figure out who the actor was?
I joined the Navy to see the world, only to discover the world is 2/3 water!
I did not know the name of the character. But thank you for your help.
