Was Mike Damone that guy who was actually a virgin but he was supposed to be like a sex god or something?
He was "a legend in his own mind."

Joyce Hyser as a guy holds a slight resemblance to a young Robert Romanus (a.k.a. Mike Damone in "Fast Times At Ridgemont High").
Looks slightly, yeah. But acts and especially sounds slightly more than slightly like Damone.
I'm watching it on Comedy Central as I type, because I saw your post a few months ago, and agreed whole-heartedly. Not only does the character look, act and talk like Damone as a high school "boy", she also talks like him as a girl.
I don't know if this is intentional, or just Hyser's acting mannerisms. Anyone ever seen her in anything else from that era?
She played "Linda" in Staying Alive, and I seem to remember the speech patterns of those folks were similar to Terry Griffith/Terry Griffith/Mark Damone. Only in this case, I think the resemblance
was
slight. I mean, that story took place in Brooklyn, so youse fuggidaboudit. -

I can't help but think that Joyce Hyser as a guy holds a slight resemblance to a young Robert Romanus (a.k.a. Mike Damone in "Fast Times At Ridgemont High").
I am almost pretty sure I read somewhere that they were siblings, but I don't know if that's true. She definitely resembles him (facial features .. though she is a much prettier version). She also seems to have the same type of mannerisms as him.
(If anyone is wondering which one Damone was in Fast Times, he was the one who got Jennifer Jason Leigh's character pregnant.)
I'm reaching for the life within me. How can one man stop his ending.
