Joe Fleishaker
Joseph Isaac Fleishaker is an American actor most famous for his small but memorable roles in various low-budget horror and science fiction movies, usually produced by Troma. Weiging more than 500 pounds, Joe Fleishaker is, (to quote Lloyd Kaufman,) the "biggest Troma Action Star". When doing a Troma promo, Fleishaker portrays Troma's co-founder, Michael Herz. According to Lloyd Kaufman, Herz is a very private man and does not like to appear in public. Fleishaker is known for his instantly recognizable obese and bearded appearance, hilarious one-liners, and slapstick humor.
Fleishaker has also appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman 12 times, and says that he is recognized by strangers more for these appearances than anything else he has done.

Famous quotes containing the word joe:
“While we were thus engaged in the twilight, we heard faintly, from far down the stream, what sounded like two strokes of a woodchopper’s axe, echoing dully through the grim solitude.... When we told Joe of this, he exclaimed, “By George, I’ll bet that was a moose! They make a noise like that.” These sounds affected us strangely, and by their very resemblance to a familiar one, where they probably had so different an origin, enhanced the impression of solitude and wildness.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
