I haven’t seen The Naked Gun movies a plethora of times, but I don’t seem to remember his character having a particularly large amount of screen time.

Usually, when OJ was on screen, he was being pummeled, which is why I'm still able to laugh at them.

Naked Gun director David Zucker had a good quote about OJ yesterday, "His acting was a lot like his murdering: He got away with it, but no one believed him."

Well.....I would hate to be the person in charge of the AMPAS/TCM/SAG "in memoriam" reel for 2024 now.

Zero chance he gets mentioned. ZERO

100%----yet I'm sure there will be a few will say "Well, Robert Blake was mentioned in the TCM reel, so why not O.J.?".
