Another character played by this actor adopts twins named Jack and Erica, despite only expecting one due to the biological mother’s misunderstanding of the phrase “both heartbeats sound healthy.” This actor also played a dentist whose assistant jokes about killing his wife before recognizing his new neighbor based on a tattoo.

This company was featured on a 2012 episode of The Biggest Loser in which contestants raced to load 30,000 pounds’ worth of its product into trucks.

Selected after Mark Aguirre in the NBA Draft, he had an inbound pass intercepted in the 1987 playoffs by a man he would later succeed as the coach of an Eastern Conference team. He was hospitalized for an overdose of the sleep medication Lunesta in 2008, and notoriously signed players such as Jerome James to mid-level exception contracts.

One of the main actors in this movie has been quoted as saying people often confuse him with Billy Zane.

His current team originally acquired him in a trade that same year with Josh Roenicke and Zach Stewart for Scott Rolen, who would presumably be a defensive upgrade over this player. He has had more success in the American League where he can focus more on his offense, with results that have culminated in a career year this season. Those results include his fortieth home run of the season that he hit off Felix Hernandez in a September game between Seattle and Toronto.

The original version of this song was released seven years before its more famous successor on an album whose cover portrays the artist dressed as a king in front of a throne. That version of this song was itself inspired by a 1937 Cachao Lopez song and includes a flute and a brass section. The better-known version of this song comes after a track that placed higher than it on the charts and before “Incident at Neshabur (Instrumental).” Several guitar solos and an organ solo are broken up by the few words in this song, which would be one of its performers’ biggest hits until a track from Supernatural in 1999. When translated those lyrics instruct a mixed-race woman to enjoy the rhythm.

That character in this movie works up a sweat while pushing a wheelchair-bound man half-a-mile uphill, an effort in which he is not aided by his friend Justin who is busy hitting on Martha. The frequent misplacing of a bottle of what is believed to be Valium negatively affects several characters in this movie, from the well-meaning Simon, who ends up climbing out of the bathroom window to the roof naked, to Peter, who blackmails Robert and Daniel with lewd pictures of their recently deceased father.

A disastrous performance at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas drove her into a deep depression prior to the breakup of the group with which she is most associated; her later performances saw her attempt to distance herself from that group by telling her listeners not to call her a certain name anymore. A member of The Big 3 and The Mugwumps, she most famously performed in a group that also included Denny Doherty and John and Michelle Phillips.

Panthers coach Ron Rivera served as the defensive coordinator for this coach for three seasons, including one that saw him defeat New Orleans in the NFC Championship before losing a Super Bowl in which one of his players returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown.
