Gimme X

X's real name : Laurence Tureaud
X's character when asked if he hated Rocky, he replied, "No, I don't hate Balboa, but I pity the fool."

X appeared in an episode of Silver Spoons, reprising his old role as bodyguard to Ricky Stratton. In the episode, he explains his name as "First name: Mister; middle name: period; last name : ____"

X appeared in a popular commercial for the Oregon Lottery which parodied the current popularity of reality TV shows. The commercial was a satire, in which X starred in a fictitious reality show entitled Who can spend 30 days in a trailer with X?

In November 2007, X appeared in a television commercial for the online role playing game World of Warcraft with the phrase "I'm X and I'm a Night Elf Mohawk"

X entered the world of professional wrestling in 1985. He was Hulk Hogan's tag-team partner at the first WrestleMania. Hulk Hogan wrote in his autobiography that X saved the main event of WrestleMania I between them and "Rowdy" Roddy Piper and "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff because when he arrived, security would not let his entourage into the building.

The name is small. If you don know the name, at least explain what he looks like.
