A Look Back: Tom Nolan in School Spirit

'A college student gets into a car crash and becomes a special kind of ghost who can make himself invisible or corporeal at will. He takes advantage of his powers to pursue his fellow female students, during the infamous 'Hog Day'.'


During the 1990's and 2000's, actor Tom Nolan was seen more of a character actor, but that wasn't the case at the beginning of his career.  Nolan began acting professionally in the late 1970's, and even if you aren't familiar with his name, I'm guessing most of you  have seen at least a few of the films he appeared in.


Nolan was a fixture in films in the 1980's, working with some of Hollywood's biggest stars with appearances in movies including: Yanks, Fast Times At Ridgemont High, Up The Creek, Tequila Sunrise and The Falcon and the Snowman.  Nolan also had numerous television appearances including co-staring alongside Elizabeth Taylor in the 1989 television adaptation of Sweet Bird of Youth.


Many of you also might have seen Tom, under a blond wig, co-starring with Pia Zadora and Craig Sheffer in the 1984 musical comedy, Voyage of the Rock Aliens.  Nolan's last acting role was in 2000, after regular appearances on the television shows Out of this World and Harry and the Hendersons


I love an embarrassment scene, and although he doesn't show much, when I recently saw an image of Nolan in the 1985 comedy, School Spirit, I had to see more.  We only a get a few quick peaks of Tom's tuchus as he runs around in a hospital gown, but given it's the actor's only nude scene, (that I could find) I thought it was worth a closer look.


I love finding comedies from the 80's with a little male nudity and Nolan especially hot in School Spirit. You can download the video on SENDSPACE HERE
