Lenny once appeared in the TV series "Tales from the Darkside."@The episode is entitled "Distant Signals" and was aired on November 17, 1985.@In that episode, Lenny played a mysterious client, Mr. Smith, who wants to revive a 20-year-old TV detective series years after its cancellation.@The writers and actors start to work together again for the project, and in the end of the story they discover that it is being produced for a highly unusual audience.
