Happy Birthday - Lumbergh (aka Gary Cole) Is 51!

You can't deny that when you first saw "Office Space", you thought to yourself, "That Lumbergh guy...he's just like MY boss! Fucking Lumbergh!!!"

Aside from being one of my favorite movie characters to hate, Gary Cole is a prime example of one of those actors who you recognize in a million other movies. Only difference now is when you see him in a movie you say, "Hey, it's that Lumbergh guy!"

To the very few of you who've actually seen the updated "Brady Bunch" movies, Gary Cole played "Mike Brady". A better appearance of Mr. Cole would be as "Cotton McKnight", commentator for The Ocho in "Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story". According to IMDB, he's been in a ton of other crap, but there was one credit that kind of stood out. Cole played "Doctor Heichman" in an Etan Cohen short called, "My Wife Is Retarded". If that title doesn't say it all. Of course, The Mrs. is certainly not retarded, but I'm sure there are plenty of husbands out there who suspect theirs are...RRRRRRiiiiiiiiight!

And yes, I'm working this Sunday.
