  • Trivia
    His character in John Cassavetes' cult mob film The Killing of a Chinese Bookie, Mr. Sophistication, who runs the show within the strip show within the movie, is a cult figure in his own right, and, despite mainly being a scriptwriter, that bizarre character is what... or, who... Meade Roberts is best remembered.
