of notable men
who chose to wear
suspenders,
the list is rather
short:
Steve Urkel,
Doctor Who,
the fat guy on the train at the beginning of Spirit of St. Louis who talks to Jimmy Stewart who is acting as Charles Lindberg and who acts as a comedic foil because he is fat and he says he sells suspenders and he doesn’t understand how planes can work because there is nothing holding them up and that’s why he likes suspenders because they hold up your pants but planes don’t use suspenders so he doesn’t really think they’ll last. He is not a very dynamic or insightful character.
Bill Nye (maybe).
When I examine this list
closely, one thing
stands out to me –
there really is a dearth
of opportunities
for black actors,
which is a shame
Urkel was hilarious.
