R.I.P. Robert Hegyes (Epstein) of 'Welcome Back Kotter'


"Welcome Back, Kotter: The Sit-In (#1.15)" (1976)

EPSTEIN: [Late at night in the dark classroom] Hey, Horshack. Tell me somethin'. Do you ever think about what God is like?

HORSHACK: Oh, yeah. I think he's short. And he has a marvelous sense of humor. And a great laugh.

EPSTEIN: Y'know, I think God is kinda tough, y'know? But he's fair. Sorta like John Wayne in a white beard, y'know? "All right, pilgrims, move those clouds in a circle." {source}

...Tell the 'tough guy' I said hey when you hit those pearly gates Robert...
