Ah, Duckface.

I don't know if any of you watch Glee but I watched all of the first 3 episodes last night and I think it's a hoot. If you don't dig musicals you will certainly find the show grating but I think it's awesome. It's cute, it's funny, it's sweet, Jane Lynch is great as the frightening Cheerios coach and the songs are really good. But this isn't why I'm blogging. What I wanted to share was this: As I watched last night's episode ("Acafellas") I was struck by the guy that played the scary Vocal Adrenaline choreographer, Dakota Stanley. The dude looked soooooo familiar and I could picture the face of the character I thought I knew he'd played but I couldn't figure out what movie or TV show that character was from. It bugged me all night long and then, for some reason, this morning it hit me - he looked like an adult version of the guy that played Duckface on Full House! So, I looked him up on IMDb when I got to work and, sure enough, the actor who played Dakota Stanley - Whit Hertford - also played Howard (a.k.a. Duckface*) on 3 episodes of Full House. I KNEW it!!! I. Am. Good. Gooooooood. I say this all the time and I'm probably going to keep on saying it, but I sure do wish there was something I could do with such an odd talent. I'd be a millionaire! :o)

* Stephanie and her friends made fun of him and his protruding pout before eventually befriending him. I found a short bio on Walter on Wikia:

Walter F. Berman is a school friend of Stephanie Tanner played by Whitby Hertford. At first, Stephanie disliked him, and went as far as teasing and imitating his resemblance to a duck. She -- along with the rest of the class -- even nicknamed him "Duckface". However, after following her Uncle Jesse's advice, she learned to appreciate Walter more, even if he was a nerd. This led to Walter briefly considering Stephanie as his "secret girlfriend".
