The Tournament of Rick: Rnd 2 - SCHROEDER vs DEES

[cuervo72]

Round of 32, from the Entertainment Bracket.

The Matchup:

Rick(y) Schroeder

Richard Bartlett “Ricky” Schroder (born April 13, 1970) is a Golden Globe Award-winning American actor who began his career as a child actor. Schroder debuted in the 1979 remake of the movie The Champ, winning the Golden Globe Award for Best New Male Star of the Year in a Motion Picture at the age of nine. In the following year, he made a Walt Disney feature film called The Last Flight of Noah's Ark with Elliott Gould. Although Schroder’s performance is generally recognized as good, the film bombed at the box office. He also starred as “Little Lord Fauntleroy” in the movie of the same name alongside Alec Guinness in 1980. He became well-known as the star of the television series Silver Spoons, when he played the lead character Rick Stratton. As he grew older, he struggled to become known as a serious actor. He changed his name credit from Ricky to Rick and preferred to take roles which helped him to stretch as an actor. Schroder’s co-starring role in the Western mini-series Lonesome Dove and its sequel, Return to Lonesome Dove, helped Schroder’s attempt to be recognised as a mature actor. Still, it came as a surprise to much of the public when he was chosen to act in the series NYPD Blue, notorious for its partial nude scenes. Schroder was ranked #18 in VH1’s list of the 100 Greatest Kid Stars and #33 in VH1’s list of the 100 Greatest Teen Stars.

I can't believe I'm voting for Rick Dees, but Schroeder won the 1st round in one of the worst polling results in FOFC history, and no matter how much he tried to man up on NYPD BLUE, he's not even a real Rick.

Hasta la vista, Ricky.

[Crim]

Didn't Dees also sing "Eat My Shorts"?

That's why I'm voting for him.

Consider this another anti-Schroeder vote. And they will be my only votes in the tourney of Rick for the duration. Slider losing in the opening round is a sham. No Rick James (bitch!) is a travesty. This tournament is a fraud.

RICK JAMES SAYS "SEE A BITCH SLAP A BITCH"

[Crim]

I used to work with a Bakery Manager named Rick Shaw. I always used to ask him for a ride. Not one person who overheard ever seemed to get it.
