Lead singer of Duke Fame and the Fame Throwers, this is the big cheesy more famous rock star Spinal Tap runs into in a Memphis hotel lobby in This Is Spinal Tap. The non-offensive cover of his 1982 album Ow featuring his hit single "Cancer Dance" (b/w "I'm Your Puppet") shows Duke tied up and surrounded by bullwhip-wielding naked women, prompting Tap's classic comment there's "...such a fine line between stupid and ...clever." Duke Fame was portrayed by Paul Shortino. His manager is Terry Ladd (Howard Hesseman).
