Did You Know?
In Ant-Man (2015) actor Garrett Morris makes a brief appearance in a scene. Morris was the first person to ever portray Ant-Man in a 1979 Saturday Night Live skit called Superhero Party.
“You probably went to the men’s room and missed it, but that’s all right,” Morris told CBR News with a laugh about his blink-and-you’ll-miss-it big-screen moment in “Ant-Man.” “If you were in the movie, and you closed your eyes, you didn’t see me. I closed my eyes, and I didn’t see me.”
“Way back when the dinosaurs were roaming around, I did a thing called ‘Ant-Man at a Party,’” says Morris. “That’s what they were referring to. But you see, only if you have a wheelchair now, would you even remember that. People 25 or under, you don’t know what the hell [my cameo] means. ‘Why is that black man in there looking up? What’s he doing there?’”
Garrett Morris has had one of the most interesting careers in TV comedy, one of the original cast of SNL and has been in a billion different things, unfortunately including 2 Broke Girls, of which he was my 3rd favorite character on, Kat Denning’s left and right boob are my first two favorites on the show.
What an awesome guy.
