Actor Timothy Busfield who is probably best known for playing Poindexter on the first two Revenge of the Nerds movies has been accused of sexually molesting a child.
Yuck!
I don't want to believe this because although I would hardly rate Busfield as a hero, he was integral to a pair of movies I believe effected positive cultural change, making nerds more respectable. While we all know the actors who play beloved characters can be real-life scumbags, it always stings to find out.

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

I'm old enough to remember him too! Oddly, the cartoons which featured him had The Professor as a kindly babysitter rather than a bad guy.
