I've seen two of those and have absolutely no memory of him, but that's the thing about character actors. Someday I will rewatch and go, "Oh! That guy!" And then dork out, as you say.

I don't know if this is still the case, but my understanding is/was that Ted has roles or at least cameos in all of his brother's movies. (I can tell you who he was in Spider-Man, but maybe you'd rather be surprised someday on rewatching?)

I have to say, the fact that the dolphin is not stealing the show says something for the human cast.

Goodness, that really is impressive!

Okay, that's really cool. (My primary animal-related memory of Hawaii is getting bitten on the finger by an anole that wouldn't let go even when I flailed like a cartoon character. To be fair, I had been trying to catch it.)

It's one of my best memories, and part of why I still think about someday getting a honu glyph tattoo (the other being that I eloped on that same Hawai'i trip. But I'm still unsure if a glyph would be appropriative). I was snorkeling for the first time (and not well), and was in shallow water near the shore, and a turtle came to investigate me. Then it decided we were playing! It kept swimming a bit ahead of me, then pausing and looking back to see if I was following. So I'd paddle after it and it would slowly swim just a bit further and look back again. This lasted until it basically ran us both right up to shore, when I fortunately realized in time that following it to where it was letting the waves toss it against the rocks would be a bad idea.
