For some reason, I was thinking back to the time forty years ago that I saw Ricky Schroder on the Merv Griffin Show. He must have been 10 or 11. [Turns out he was 14 or 15.] Bea Arthur was there.
Schroder told an embarrassing anecdote. He had been in Japan to promote a movie. He was introduced to a Japanese official. Trying to make conversation, the man asked the little fellow what his favorite movie was. Without thinking, Schroder answered "Attack on Pearl Harbor".
I assume he meant Tora! Tora! Tora! If he did it was actually a pretty good answer. That movie was a U.S.-Japanese co-production, an example of cooperation and friendship between our nations. It showed he had no hard feelings and the movie was a huge hit in Japan which must be a little disturbing to some people.
Schroder now calls himself "Rick Schroder". He's some sort of violent alt-right nut. He's been arrested twice for domestic violence but not charged and he put up $150 thousand to bail out murderous fellow German Kyle Rittenhouse. Millionaire Schroder posted a video of himself harassing Costco employees because the store required masks during the pandemic.
Just watched a video about the video. He's not aging well, poor wretch. The great big glasses aren't doing him any favors. There's video of him apologizing for the Costco video, but, in it, he laments the end of the white supremacist regime in Rhodesia.
