Film History
Gans had been noted many times for his role in Bull Durham, although his part in the movie was ultimately downsized. He used this role as an addition to his resume, even going on Roy Firestone's show and promoting the role while holding a picture of himself from the movie to prove that he was, in fact, in it.
Gans played Roger in the TV series Silk Stalkings for 12 episodes, 1991–1992, played Scott Babylon in the TV series Duet from 1987–1989, and reprised his role in the TV series Open House from 1989-1990. He also played a Wayne Newton impersonator on an episode of Roseanne when they went to Las Vegas for the wedding of Arnie and Nancy.
He had an uncredited cameo as himself in the 2009 film Race To Witch Mountain. Gans was mentioned several times, but did not appear, in an episode of the TV series Gary Unmarried (filmed before his death, but aired just afterwards on May 6, 2009). When aired, the episode was accompanied by an "In Memory Of" end-credit dedicated to Gans.

Famous quotes containing the words film and/or history:
“Lay not that flattering unction to your soul,
That not your trespass but my madness speaks;
It will but skin and film the ulcerous place,
Whilst rank corruption, mining all within,
Infects unseen.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“At present cats have more purchasing power and influence than the poor of this planet. Accidents of geography and colonial history should no longer determine who gets the fish.”
—Derek Wall (b. 1965)
