You probably know him as the older version, this guy:
I was reading his wikipedia page last night for some reason and I came up with this gem:
"In 1978, Ray was in the news for an entirely different reason: he helped save a dolphin's life. At Marine World in Redwood City, California, during maintenance in the tank of a bottlenose dolphin named "Mr. Spock", the dolphin swallowed a sharp screw. The veterinarian was unwilling to perform a risky operation while the screw was still in the dolphin's first stomach, just inches beyond his reach. His frustrated suggestion that he needed longer arms led someone to ask local star Ray (whose arms are 3 feet 9 inches, or 114 centimeters, long) if he could help. With gloves, lubrication, and guidance, he was able to reach down Spock's throat and retrieve the screw before it could cause more damage." Wiki
Amazing. A lot of time he gets over looked, but I had no idea he was this noble. Not only does he teach Perks amazing post moves, but he saves dolphins with his spare time. So for that Clifford Ray, we at Dueling Couches salute you.
