We now live in a world where your Milwaukee Bucks are NBA Champions, so we’ll file this story under “Why not?” On Friday, July 23, from 1-3 p.m., actor/writer/filmmaker/State-alum/all-around-awesome-person Thomas Lennon will be working as a cashier at the Walmart in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin (201 Edwards Blvd.) And he’ll be doing it dressed as one of his most iconic characters: Lieutenant Jim Dangle from Reno 911!
“Thousands of folks have asked me ‘why doesn’t Lt. Dangle work the check out at Walmart in Lake Geneva to benefit Milwaukee Children’s Hospital?” Lennon tweeted on Wednesday. “Stop asking: it’s on Friday.”
Yep, the appearance is indeed a charity event for Children’s Wisconsin, making it extra wonderful. The Lake Geneva Walmart has a little more info:
