Cliff Emmich in the 1980s

Most of Cliff Emmich's jobs in the 1980s mostly came from guest appearances on TV shows and appearing in TV movies. In the above photos he guest-starred on 2 episodes of CHiPs in 1980 and 1983.

Emmich did appear in Halloween II in 1981. You may remember the Hospital's night security guard.

Cliff was on an episode of Falcon Crest in 1982.

Cliff also guested on TV show Bret Maverick in 1982. I was hoping for another bathtub scene in the show but I'm just happy he was in it.

Cliff Emmich also made appearances in The Incredible Hulk, Matt Houston and Trapper John, MD in the early 1980s.

He appeared in the movie Hellhole in 1985.

As well as an episode of Knight Rider.

And he appeared in comedy/horror movie Return to Horror High as the cameraman in 1987.

And episodes of Hunter, 227 and Night Court. That is probably his own belt buckle he is wearing in Night Court. It looks to be the same one he wore in Return to Horror High.

I saw a Facebook ad/post proudly announcing “Autism Awareness and Prevention Month” followed with the tag line “Join the fight to end Autism!”.

It left me fuming and yelling fuck off very loudly at my screen.

Then, a few minutes later, the artwork for a theatre show I’m appearing in popped up to balance things out.

“Aliens Do Exist” is a brand new one act play following a young woman, Jess, throughout her life as she tries to blend in to a world not built for her, and her journey to self discovery.

This is a beautiful, heartwarming, funny, poignant and eye opening semi-autobiographical account about neurodiversity and autism.

I’m especially proud to be involved in the cast, playing a multitude of characters.

ALIENS DO EXIST is on at the Limelight Theatre, Aylesbury 1-3 March.

Believe Me, If All Those Edgar Dearing Young Charms

With Laurel and Hardy he appeared in The Second 100 Years (1927), Why Girls Love Sailors…
