I thought Law & Orders Anthony Anderson was "Finch"...LOL (i was wrong)...

I would have bit a years' Engineering salary that Law & Order Anthony Anderson
played the part of "Phillip Finch" in the '86 movie Wildcats. But I was wrong...that role was played by Tab Thacker, who unfortunately died 3 months ago on Dec 28, '07 of diabetes Complications. RIP Tab....I Also didnt realize the late Tab Thacker was a virtually undefeated NCAA wrestling Champion at NC State during the 80's, and ranks among their all-time best....WOW! Yet, striking similiarites,,,Both Heavy set Huge Dudes. Anthony Anderson would have
been 16 when Wildcats was made...."Old Enough" to play a Convincing High School
Football Line-man. Nonetheless, the Movie also showcases a Very young
WESLEY SNIPES...Who unfortunately made headlines for his evading the US Tax Man and will suffer a heavy Jail punishment for it.....Thats' ridiculous, if
he were "White" this would not have happened.... I'm white by the way.
