Yes, and you probably haven't.

Hesseman is, of course, a TV icon thanks to his role as DJ Johnny Fever in the classic CBS sitcom "WKRP in Cincinnati." He later had another sitcom hit with "Head of the Class" from 1986 to 1990 on ABC (he left before the final season in 1991).

Since then, his presence on the screen has been a little less steady, but he's never been far from it. It seems like he's at the point in his career where he only does projects he wants to do, and for longtime counter-cultural weirdo Hesseman, that means projects that don't always get a lot of exposure.

His most recent one is a low-budget political-satire film called "Dirty Politics," released earlier this year, in which he plays a character simply named Big Oil.

In 2016, he had a supporting role in the indie comedy "Wild Oats," perhaps just for the honor of working with legends Shirley MacLaine and Jessica Lange.

In 2014, he appeared in the film "How to Become an Outlaw," which as far as I can tell never went into any theaters or anywhere besides a couple of film festivals. It did, however, give him the chance to work with fellow improv-comedy greats Fred Willard and Edie McClurg.

These are the sorts of projects Hesseman does these days -- limited distribution, good company. You could look at his recent credits and say that he's just not getting big roles, but given his past success, and the fact that he's able to get guest spots in major TV shows (such as "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," "Mike & Molly" and "Boston Legal") seemingly at will, it's more likely he's just having fun with this acting stuff these days.
