Played by great character actor, Bill Cobbs, Del Paxton was portrayed as top figure in the world of Jazz. His role was brief, but he met one of his biggest fans, the drummer for the Wonders, and his sage advice put things into perspective for the protagonist of “That Thing You Do”. Realistically, this is not a strong contender, but we loved this role so much, that we had to put on the ballot
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
That Thing You Do (1996)
Actor:
Bill Cobbs
Songs you might remember:
None….just a jam with “Shades”
Why you should vote for him:
The quiet cool that Paxton had.
Why you should not vote for him:
The movie was not about him, and his role was brief.

Elvis Presley played a truck driver turned Rock Star (not exactly a stretch) in the 1957 film, Loving You. The film was forgettable, but the soundtrack was a hit, which was typical of Presley: Good music, bad acting.

Hmm.Isn’t there always the “other one” in a trip of girl groups? In the movie Sparkle (2012) we nominated the three girls separately as we were treated to them more as individuals as opposed to a collective. That is except for the “other one”, being Dee. Look, the best example of this is that the best YouTube clip we have of her is when her portrayer (Tika Sumpter) was walking the red carpet; but hey somebody has to be the Michelle Williams of the group/movie.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Sparkle (2012)
Actor:
Tika Sumpter
Songs you might remember:
None…on her own.
Why you should vote for her:
She is hot. Seriously, that is all we got.
Why you should not vote for her:
Sorry, Dee, you were the distant third in this race of Andersons.

There was no way we could resist one! Years deep into his irrelevant stage, Sonny Bono did what all other B-listers did in 1979 and the early 80’s; he guest starred on the Love Boat. He played a Gene Simmons wannabe named Deacon Dark, who in true Love Boat fashion; fell in love with a deaf chick. Actually, that makes sense, as nobody who heard this dreck could possibly fall in love with him.
The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
The Love Boat (1979)
Actor:
Sonny Bono
Songs you might remember:
Smash It
Why you should vote for him:
If you want cheese, this is your choice.
Why you should not vote for him:
As Captain Stubing said, “He’s no Jerry Vale”.
