That's what I did. That's how I came up with Jerry Seinfeld. He was a regular on Benson in 1980. He played one of the bodyguards or something like that. He had smaller parts on TV after that and didn't become a regular on a TV show again until he got his own show. He's also the only one with enough clout to challenge an sports star. It's him. He's the only one I can find that fits.
