In the movie Trespass (1992) Bill Paxton and William Sadler find a treasure map but the map leads to a warehouse in gang territory and Ice T is the gang leader. Tiny Lister is in it as one of Ice T's guys and to make him more menacing he wears baseball cleats. His name is Cletus.

John Turturro shines in Noah Segan’s 'The Only Living Pickpocket in New York,' an engrossing tale of coming to terms with the imbalance of the good and bad of a life, and if that even matters in the end.
