Eddie Deezen pretty much perfected the “nerd” stereotype with his parts in Grease and Grease 2, as well as the films Midnight Madness, 1941, and WarGames. He also did some starring work in independent films, such as I Wanna Hold Your Hand, Beverly Hills Vamp, and Teenage Exorcist. He found a lot of success in the 1990’s with voice work, lending his nasally sound for the shows Dexter’s Laboratory, Grimmy, Duckman, and What’s New Scooby-Doo?. He was the voice of the annoying (Know-it-all) kid in the 2004 film The Polar Express. In 2015’s The Spongebob Movie: Sponge Out Of Water, he provided the voice of the Seagull. He’s a huge pop culture trivia buff and since 2011 has been a contributing writer to many sites, like mental floss, TodayIFoundOut.com, and Neatorama.com.

As you may know, Jeff Conaway (Kenickie) passed away in 2011 after complications from pneumonia that were heightened from his previous prescription pain medication abuse. That same year Annette Charles (Cha Cha) passed away from complications of cancer, though she too had been initially hospitalized for pneumonia. In 1993, Dennis C. Stewart (Craterface/Leo) contracted HIV and died in 1994 from AIDs complications.
