Why: He played Sloth in The Goonies.
Answer: Oh boy, what a gentleman. He played in the NFL from 1973-1982, and he came in 9th in the World's Strongest Man competition in 1978. He was also 6'8" and died in 1989 (age 38) of heart failure related to using steroids.

The More You Know: Despite having watched The Goonies just about every afternoon of my youth, I just learned a few new things about it:
- Mouth's last name is Devereaux
- Andy's last name is Carmichael
- Stef's last name is Steinbrenner
- Data's first name is Richard
- Sloth's first name is Lotney
- The Goonies Oath that was cut out goes as follows:
I will never betray my goon dock friends
We will stick together until the whole world ends
Through heaven and hell and nuclear war
Good pals like us will stick like tar
In the city or the country or the forest or the boonies
I am proudly declared a fellow Goony
- The soundtrack includes "8 Arms To Hold You" by The Goon Squad. It was removed from the film when the octopus scene was cut, but is still on my DVD. It's terrible.
