Coincidental Puns on the Halfshell

So apparently the puppeteer who did the part of Michaelangelo in the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie is named Michelan Sisti. His IMDB page gives him a real birthdate and place, so I can only assume it isn't a pseudonym à la Alan Smithee. (Sisti / Sistine, get it? huh? get it?)

The part of Casey Jones is played by the proto-'Canadian actor who turns up absolutely everywhere', Elias Koteas. I have a theory that Koteas' inclusion in the cast of The Thin Red Line was both a necessary and sufficient reason for it to be listed as being a Canadian as well as American movie (where movies that have Toronto subbing in for New York, but are otherwise American productions are only listed as 'USA' in IMDB).

Another interesting tidbit about the first (and best, natch) Ninja Turtles movie is that each of the actors / puppeteers who played the turtles played some other part in the movie as well. Mr. Sisti actually played the pizza delivery guy and ended up having an argument with himself because he couldn't find the sewer grate where Michaelangelo wanted the pizza delivered.

This scene contained the best line in the entire movie, and one which I quote often: “Wise men say: forgiveness is divine, but never pay full price for a late pizza.”
