RIP Stephen Furst
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

He played the leader of the evil Blue Team in "Midnight Madness"... one of the movies HBO's incessant replay in the 80's helped give cult status to, as well as one of my favorites when I was a kid....
