Irwin Keyes is probably best known for his role as Ravelli in House of 1000 Corpses. What you may not have know is that he has quite an extensive acting career, from t.v. series to movies to even voices for video games! Some surprising facts you may not have know about Irwin are his roles in the following movies/t.v. series: The Exterminator & Exterminator 2, Laverne & Shirley, The Jeffersons, Moonlighting, Married with Children, thirtysomething, Tales From the Crypt, The Flintstones (movie), and CSI. That's just touching scratching the surface! I've never had the pleasure of meeting Irwin but I hope to one day. I did have the pleasure of doing a fun little interview with him recently, though!
