I like Freddy Prinze, Jr. He seems like a good kid and a good actor. He made that movie about the thing with the guy. His sitcom did well and then it was gone. It deserved a second season.

The press release basically says he'll be working there. Apparently the lead from Egon is now a waiter again. That restaurant didn't send out a press release.

He's an actor, what does that have to do with wrestling? Oh. Never mind.
