125 Neal

Neal is a movie producer or director.

I tend to think of him as a producer, since Lucasberg is our director.  

This is the biographical info on the cardback for Neal:

Occupation: Guerrilla Filmmaker
Hobbies: Rocking out on guitar
Catch Phrase: "I watch 'Cops' to feel better about myself."

I can't think of any definitive relationship that this figure has to a real person.

I think he is supposed to look like Ed Wood the low-budget filmmaker portrayed by Johnny Depp in the famous 1994 film about his life.  Ed Wood is considered one of the earliest guerilla filmmakers having made his independent B-movies back in the 1950s. 

Maybe the hobby and catch phrase relate to some other Johnny Depp role. 

Any ideas?

Also, Neal has a zood from series 6.  His name is Brady, and he is another dog.  He is standing on his hind legs and holding a movie clapboard.  He is wearing the same kind of floppy beret that Neal is wearing.   The origin of his name is also a mystery.
