In at least one incident, things got extraordinarily weird. The “pickup artist” from Simple Pickup met a large-breasted woman and her muscle-tanked boyfriend. The guy announced himself as a “goddamned movie star” who played Yeah-Yeah on The Sandlot. Does it matter that the guy, actor Marty York, has only been in a handful of live-action roles since then? Absolutely not. He's got the MADE OF SOLID STEEL, BRAH.
I don't think this is viral marketing for a 20th anniversary edition of The Sandlot or an outtake from Jersey Shore's first season. York is just nuts. If you can't watch the video at work, or if you'd just like to relive a wholesome kid from The Sandlot telling a guy on the street he'll “murder him,” Uproxx transcribed the quotes. Just imagine Yeah-Yeah spouting these lines to Smalls:
“Have you ever seen the movie The Sandlot? I’m Yeah-Yeah. I’m a motherf*cking goddamned movie star. First of all, who the f*ck is this f*ckin’ Asian motherf*cker? I’m a goddamned movie star. I’ve been on TMZ ten times. Look my name up – Marty York. You ask to motorboat my chick, I’ll f*ck you up, dude, right now. Unless you know motherf*ckin’ Bruce Lee Kung Fu… (mumbles unintelligibly) I’m from f*cking Brooklyn, I’ll f*cking murder you.”
York wasn't lying about being on TMZ ten times, by the way. I searched their archives and found some illuminating information: On March 24, 2012, a maid at a Vegas hotel thought she'd found a dead guy in a room. Nope, it was just York, unconscious after a night of drinking. The paramedics were called and he missed his checkout time.
In 2009, he asked people on MySpace for money. (For the young-uns out there: in the late 00's, MySpace was a pretty solid place to get a loan.) And earlier in 2009, York was charged with felony domestic battery after beating up his girlfriend.
But hey, he says he still receives many fan letters each day.
Don't google childhood actors, kids. It really never tells out well.
