FRIDAY HALL OF FAMER (9/6/19) - KEVIN SMITH

With the September posts for the Inner Toob blog, we look at Hollywood as seen in Toobworld – alterations to actual movies, fictional movies, and behind the scenes articles. And that focus also affects the Television Crossover Hall of Fame. The monthly showcase is always somebody from the League of Themselves who helps foster crossovers – and with the theme being superheroes this year, Greg Berlanti was the perfect choice for that with his work on the Arrowverse.

And that continues with the Friday Hall of Famers, both behind the scenes and with fictional characters.

For this first September Friday, we’ve got a member of the League of Themselves….

KEVIN SMITH

From Wikipedia:
Kevin Patrick Smith (born August 2, 1970) is an American filmmaker, actor, comedian, comic book writer, author, and podcaster. He came to prominence with the low-budget comedy film “Clerks” (1994), which he wrote, directed, co-produced, and acted in as the character Silent Bob of stoner duo Jay and Silent Bob.

Jay and Silent Bob have appeared in Smith's follow-up films “Mallrats”, “Chasing Amy”, “Dogma”, “Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back” and “Clerks 2”, which were set primarily in his home state of New Jersey.

While not strictly sequential, the films frequently featured crossover plot elements, character references, and a shared canon described by fans as the "View Askewniverse", named after his production company View Askew Productions, which he co-founded with Scott Mosier.
