Today I’d like to announce a new feature to Brain Pan: Catching Up! It’s sort of a “where are they now” game where we pick a notable and overlooked person and learn a little bit about where they came from and where they are going.

Today’s Obscure Celebrity Who Is Still More Famous Than You Are:

Donald Gibb

You may remember Donald Gibb as Ray Jackson, the lovable-yet-incredibly-deadly comic foil to ass kicker Jean-Claude Van Damme in the 1988 arena fighting classic Bloodsport. Gibb also played the much beloved character of Ogre in the movies Revenge of the Nerds and Revenge of the Nerds II: Nerds in Paradise, as well as the made for TV movie Revenge of the Nerds IV: Nerds in Love. Before acting, he was a basketball player, and even enjoyed a brief career with the San Diego Chargers.

But is that all there is to Don “Best Part of Bloodsport” Gibb? Lord no. Let’s start CATCHING UP!

What I discovered is that Donald Gibb WORKS HIS ASS OFF. He has guest starred on dozens of TV shows, and has been in over 25 movies. He is also the spokesman for and co-owner of a Chicago brewery, Trader Todd’s Adventure Bar. They are renowned for Karaoke and are home to Gibb’s own beer, called Ogre Beer Lyte.

Visit Donald Gibb’s Myspace site here.

The best part of his myspace site are these three lines from his profile:

I was Ray Jackson in Bloodsport. Jean-Claude Van Damme is a douchebag. Just so you know.

Nice. Sounds like a funny guy, and everybody here at Brain Pan is happy that he’s done so well for himself. Go check out his site, buy his beer, and watch his moves.
