Sleestak
Are the "actors" who portrayed the Sleestak characters given the correct Wikipedia links? Some of these link to professional NBA basketball players. I cannot imagine that professional NBA basketball players would have the time -- much less, the interest -- to play a role like this on a weekly TV kid series where they are hidden behind a costume. Does anyone know for sure? Thanks. Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 19:43, 4 January 2016 (UTC)
- @Joseph A. Spadaro: Strange but true, though the TV series was long before their professional careers. The Bill Laimbeer article explains that the show hired Palos Verdes High School basketball players to portray the tall Sleestak characters. —173.56.25.136 (talk) 01:18, 16 July 2018 (UTC)
