Resin Ate It

Dan Resin, famed navigator of the porcelain pool, has died at the age of 79 of Parkinson’s disease. Resin played the dapper, erudite captain of the tiny speedboat carried away on the blue wave as Mr. Ty-D-Bol, probably the most famous of his many commercials. At the top of his career, he was doing 3 commercials a week, and may be the only actor in history to star in consecutive commercials for different companies in a single Super Bowl. You may also remember him as Dr. Beeper, the medic electrocuted by his pager and whose booty call was thwarted by Judge Smails’ drunk nephew vomiting into his car’s moonroof in Caddyshack.
