It's surprising how many people out there claim to be BIG fans, and how so few of those fans actually know his real name. His real name is NOT Michael. It is in fact Marvin Lee Aday. Those of you who doubt this should look it up. And his birthday is September 27, 1947. True, die hard fans know this stuff. His wife's name is Leslie, his daughter Pearl is a singer with her own albums and his other daughter Amanda is an actress. Amanda has been in the show Carnivale and in the movie National Lampoon's Pledge This!
