The character appears to remind his tenant that “tomorrow’s already the 10th”, and noted that he “finally the venue I wanted – I’m performing my dance quintet. You know, my cycle?”The character then comes back at said recital. He dances partly mime, ballet, slapstick, the full Coens brothers package. It is another example of the duo’s characters who made brief appearances in their movies but remain in the fans’ memories as cult characters.Directed by Joel Coen and produced by Ethan Coen, The Big Lebowski was released on March 6, 1998. It received positive reviews from critics and eventually became a cult classic.The movie featured Jeff Bridges in the lead role as Jeffrey “The Dude” Lebowski alongside John Goodman, Julianne Moore, Steve Buscemi, David Huddleston, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Tara Reid, John Turturro, Sam Elliott, and others.Everything known about Jack KehlerKehler addresses the audience onstage at Lebowski Fest Los Angeles Movie Party at Saban Theatre (Image via Victor Decolongon/Getty Images)Jack Kehler was born in Philadelphia on May 22, 1946, and was a lifelong member of The Actors Studio.
