Daniels. He was one of Fred's fat buddies that you only saw in
the second and third seasons of the shows. I always liked it when
Fred, Bubba, Leroy, and Skillet partied down. He's a very
memorable character, but not in as many episodes as you would
think. Leroy was only in five shows. The characters of
Leroy and Skillet were later written out of the series and as Fred
explained to Lamont, they didn't want to hang around him because he was
too cantankerous.
