Which Famous Actor Got Paid In Weed For An Early Horror Movie Role?

Which Famous Actor Got Paid In Weed For An Early Horror Movie Role?

Did five-time Emmy winner John Larroquette get paid in weed for his narration work in 1974’s The Texas Chainsaw Massacre?

One of the oldest rumors in showbiz was finally confirmed by Larroquette himself in a recent interview with Parade.


“Totally true,” Larroquette said. “[Director Tobe Hooper] gave me some marijuana or a matchbox or whatever you called it in those days. I walked out of the [recording] studio and patted him on the back side and said, ‘Good luck to you!'”

Larroquette, who would go on to achieve fame for his role in the classic sitcom Night Court, admits that he’s “not a big horror movie fan” and has not seen any of the Texas Chainsaw films, but he was happy to do a favor for friend (and score some weed).

Although The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was filmed on an extremely low budget, it would go on to become one of the most iconic horror films of all time, with several sequels and remakes.

Larroquette reprised his narration role for Netflix’s 2022 sequel, creatively entitled Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Unfortunately [spoiler alert], the movie was a total dud, which critics and horror fans alike were all too happy to lambast as a complete waste of their time.

Larroquette, meanwhile, has moved onto other projects included a new reboot of Night Court.

Jimi Hendrix - The Bluntness

The record Jimi Hendrix listened to on his first acid trip - The Bluntness

Jimi's legendary first trip

Picture the scene: it’s January 3rd 1966, in New York City, and a young James Marshall Hendrix has just sent his father in Seattle an Empire State Building postcard admitting that the grass is not in fact greener on the other side and “every thing so-so on this big, raggedy city”. Although he doesn’t know it yet, Hendrix’s life is about to change seismically with the introduction of LSD.

Having spent four years residing in the Big Apple as a permanently broke musician, Hendrix had experienced his fair share of Black juke joints and clubs around the continent. Despite the grueling nature of the ‘chitlin circuit’, comprising venues in the eastern, southern, and upper Midwest areas of the United States, Hendrix honed his craft by borrowing crowd-pleasing techniques from T-Bone Walker and Buddy Guy. A couple of these antics included the signature Hendrix trick of playing guitar behind his head and with his teeth. During this period, Hendrix also played as a guitarist in the backing band for the Isley Brothers, further refining his skills.

If you’re looking to get into dabs, the good news is you no longer have to start with a little rinky dink rig from your local headshop and a torch whose flame refuses to get high enough for the ice water hash you just bought.

Instead, advancements in technology have made it where you can skip past the traditional rite of passage, and step right into the big leagues for your first taste of oil. Removing leftover concentrate is crucial to ensure optimal performance during dabbing sessions, and modern devices are designed with this in mind.
