Sal used to live with his friend Johnny in a '67 Impala, filled with empty beer cans, somewhere in Florida. His acting career started towards the end of 1987, when he went to Vancouver to see his old 'room mate' Johnny, who was now an actor, playing Tom Hanson in teeny-bopper sitcom, 21 Jump Street. (Yes, his old pal was Johnny Depp ) Sal got the role of 'Blowfish', after he impressed the Jump Street producers with some kind of party trick, involving the expansion of his cheeks, and err... blowing...
