Richard Edson

Richard Edson (born 1954, New Rochelle, New York) has acted in over 35 movies and was the earliest drummer of Sonic Youth, from 1981 to 1982. In film, Edson is probably best known for his portrayal of a garage attendant in Ferris Bueller's Day Off. He is fondly remembered as the affable Eddie in Jim Jarmusch's Stranger Than Paradise, who quips to Willie (played by John Lurie) "You know Willie it's strange; You go to some place new and everything just looks the same." He also had roles in Do the Right Thing, Good Morning Vietnam and Platoon.
