"Wooly haired Corky Hubbert, also known as the world's tallest midget and the mini-Bob Dylan, was a very talented guy. He wrote a column in a local magazine. He also was lead vocalist in a band that played downtown; Corky wailed chestnuts like "So Sorry That I Came On Your Dress," and as an actor scored parts on Magnum PI, Under the Rainbow (with Tom Cruise) and the Hunter Thompson opus Where the Buffalo Roam. So it was a big surprise when the only part in Pillars of Portland he could squeeze out of the director was as a deaf, dumb and blind midget baseball ump. Worse, he had a broken leg and I guess was left mostly just hobbling around in the rain during the shoot and, well, it went downhill from there." —Mark Christensen, co-author of the 1984 book The Sweeps: Behind the Scenes in Network TV
