Family doctor Michael Meyers had his one fling in the movies with the role of actress Ali McGraw's brother in the 1969 movie Goodbye, Columbus, which also starred Richard Benjamin.
The movie's director had noticed Meyers, who was serving as an usher at a wedding. Young Meyers turned out to be perfect as the large, pleasantly hovering hovering Jewish jock in this fine film.
Meyers had no desire to try out for further roles and used his one-time film income to pay medical school expenses.
This Michael Meyers, by the way, is not the Mike Meyers of Saturday Night Live fame.
