He played the cop who escorted The Dude through the impound lot after his car was discovered. His car, for those of you studying for Lebowski Fest Trivia, was found the night prior lodged against an abutment in Van Nuys.
That scene is one of the many gem-filled pieces in our favorite movie, but when I first saw the news of Gomez's appearance his only scene was not the first recollection that came to my mind...
Please humor me as I walk down my own personal Lebowski Fest Memory Lane:
On a [very] cold Chicago day in early March 2008 I attended my first ever Lebowski Fest. One of the first costumes I saw instantly "led" me to realize that the quality of my fellow Chicago Achievers was high.
This remains one of my favorite all time costumes. Not visible in that picture is the dry ice they brought with them to really show off their technical skills.
Now although you might think if I ever saw Mike Gomez, I would ask him if he's "got any promising, uh,uh..." Actually, your assumption would be incorrect.
As soon as I saw him I would yell out, "Awh! Jesus - what's that smell, man?"[TQ]
