Samuel Burl "Sam" Kinison


 Samuel Burl "Sam" Kinison (December 8, 1953 – April 10, 1992)

A former Pentecostal preacher, he performed stand-up routines that were most often characterized by an intense style, similar to enthusiastic preachers, punctuated by his trademark scream. Kinison played on his former role as a Bible-preaching evangelist, taking satirical and sacrilegious shots at the Bible, Christianity and famous Christian evangelist scandals of his day. Kinison's daring comedy helped shoot him to stardom. Kinison made his film debut in Rodney Dangerfield's 1986 film Back to School, playing a short-tempered professor. He died in a car accident on April 10, 1992, when a drunk driver crossed the median on U.S. Hwy 95 and struck Kinison's car. He is buried at Memorial Park Cemetery in Tulsa, OK.
