Byron Stewart
Byron Stewart (born May 1, 1956, in Baxter Springs, Kansas) is an American actor best known for his portrayal of Warren Coolidge in the Bruce Paltrow-directed television series The White Shadow and the television medical drama St. Elsewhere.
Stewart's first credited acting role came in 1977 at age 21 in the movie Fire Sale, a comedy about a Jewish basketball coach who adopts a tall African-American teenage boy (played by Stewart) to help him win games. Ken Howard stated in The White Shadow season 1 DVD commentary that, after seeing a re-run of Fire Sale, he immediately phoned Bruce Paltrow and said he wanted Stewart for a role as one of his basketball players. Howard wanted at least one "player" taller than himself for the "team."
Stewart, who is 6'8" tall, later reprised the role of Warren Coolidge in another Paltrow-directed series, St. Elsewhere. The explanation was that Coolidge had to give up basketball because of injury and moved to Boston, where he got a job as a hospital orderly at St. Eligius Hospital.

Born Yesterday
by: The Rochesi was born yesterday
don't know nothin'
eyes open wide
seem to be on a funny farm
guess i'll go on the nanana
you got to roll roll roll roll
you got to roll roll roll roll roll
on the nanana
it's scrapin' slow
up to the top
i don't really like this
it don't seem right
it's on the top now
zooming down down down
looking around
won't nobody stop this thing
you got to roll...some of the creatures laughing
with their hands up in the air
others over the edge getting sick
one or two sitting quiet
and mad
like they want their
money back
they wanna get off
but you can't do that...no
you can't do that
you got to roll...
in my cherry apple cheeks
and my cotton candy
mouth
and a stupid fuzzy hat
and a voice with which to shout
i got to roll. . .
till the cows come home
