Every year, the final draft pick earns the title “Mr. Irrelevant,” and in 1983, that honor went to John Tuggle.

The film features a talented cast, including Isabel May, David Krumholtz, Tuwaine Barrett, Thaddeus LaGrone, Alexander England, Spencer House, Tandi Wright, and the remarkable Michael Shannon.
