"Fridays TV Show" (1981) [Show E-03] "Drugs ℞ Us" #1 [03 of 07]

Michael Richards of Seinfeld fame started his career on an old ABC Saturdays Night Live rip off called Fridays (which was actually much funnier than SNL). The show also featured Larry David, also of Seinfeld fame, but the real stant out was a guy who never did hit the big time, Mark Blankfield. Here's Blankfield in a role he's still remembered for the Friday's pharmacist. Look for Michael Richards as "the customer".



American comic actor Mark Blankfield rose to popularity on the ABC TV sketch-comedy series Fridays (1980-1982). Though he essayed many characterizations on this series, Blankfield's best-received "persona" was his speed-freak pharmacist. In 1982, Blankfield played the title role (or roles) in the feature-film horror spoof Jekyll and Hyde...Together Again. Since that time, his film assignments have been secondary parts in films like The Incredible Shrinking Woman (1981) and Robin Hood: Men in Tights (1993). Mark Blankfield was also seen on a weekly basis in the TV sitcoms The Nutt House (1989, as Freddy) and Good and Evil (1991, as George). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
