Cab Calloway (Stormy Weather, Hi De Ho)—TRULY THE SCRUNGLIEST. Nobody ever did it like him, your honor. The music, the dance moves, the hair, the unbridled charisma that comes across just the slightest bit unhinged. If I had to build the pillars of scrungle, they would be as follows: talent, showmanship, sportingness, and absolute commitment to the bit, all of which Cab Calloway has in SPADES. He was a great actor, a great singer, AND a great bandleader. Truly, nobody was doing it like him, before or since.

Oskar Werner (The Ship of Fools, Fahrenheit 451, Jules et Jim)—I can’t even think about Oskar Werner without having the urge to carry him around in my mouth like a mother cat with their kittens. He is beautiful in such a sad, scrungly, bedraggled way, I want to bundle him up in a warm cat bed and snuggle all his troubles away. This guy has an equally sad real-life story to match his sad, scrungly demeanor. He was born in Austria and married a half-Jewish woman, and they had to flee from Nazi persecution to save their lives. He’s told such sad tales of them starving while they hid during the war. Thankfully he was able to eventually find success as an actor, but it was short-lived as he was an alcoholic and died at the young age of sixty-one. The first thing I ever saw him in was Fahrenheit 451, but he is his scrungliest in The Ship of Fools where he plays a character achingly reminiscent of himself.

Who is the scrungliest little guy?

Cab Calloway
