Connecting Waylon Jennings and Will Poulter
Waylon Jennings
Jennings gave up his seat on the ill-fated flight in 1959 that crashed and killed Holly, J. P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson and Ritchie Valens.
Following the Clear Lake show (which ended around midnight), Allsup lost a coin toss and gave up his seat on the charter plane to Ritchie Valens, while Jennings voluntarily gave up his seat to J. P. Richardson, known as The Big Bopper, who was suffering from the flu and complaining about how cold and uncomfortable the tour bus was for a man of his size.
The Big Bopper
The Canadian television comedy show '' SCTV'' featured a character named "Sue Bopper-Simpson", a fictional daughter of the Big Bopper, played by Catherine O'Hara.

Jason Sudeikis
American actor and comedian (born 1975)
He starred as David Clark, a drug dealer, in '' We're the Millers'' (2013), alongside Jennifer Aniston, Emma Roberts and Will Poulter.
Waylon Jennings
In addition to performing on air for KVOW, Jennings started to work as a DJ in 1956 and moved to Lubbock. His program ran from 4:00 in the afternoon to 10:00 in the evening, filled with two hours of country classics, two of current country and two of mixed recordings. The latter included early rock-and-roll stars such as Chuck Berry and Little Richard.
Little Richard
American musician, singer and songwriter (1932–2020)
Rock critics noted similarities between Prince's androgynous look, music and vocal style and Richard's.
Prince (musician)
In 2006, he was invited to dub the Prince XII cat in the film '' Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties'', but gave up for unknown reasons and was replaced by actor Tim Curry.
Tim Curry
One of Curry's best-known television roles (and best-known roles overall) is as Pennywise the Clown in the 1990 horror miniseries '' Stephen King's It''. Aside from one '' Fangoria'' interview in 1990, Curry never publicly acknowledged his involvement in ''It'' until an interview with Moviefone in 2015, where he called the role of Pennywise "a wonderful part", giving his blessing to successor Will Poulter; Poulter was set to play the character in the reboot, although ultimately dropped out.

Jennings gave up his seat on the ill-fated flight in 1959 that crashed and killed Holly, J. P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson and Ritchie Valens.
Following the Clear Lake show (which ended around midnight), Allsup lost a coin toss and gave up his seat on the charter plane to Ritchie Valens, while Jennings voluntarily gave up his seat to J. P. Richardson, known as The Big Bopper, who was suffering from the flu and complaining about how cold and uncomfortable the tour bus was for a man of his size.
Ritchie Valens
Valens was the first to capitalize on this formula, which was later adopted by such varied artists as Selena, Caifanes, Café Tacuba, Circo, El Gran Silencio, Aterciopelados, Gustavo Santaolalla, and many others in the Latin alternative scene.
Gustavo Santaolalla
He is known for composing his film scores with his collaborator and acclaimed director Alejandro González Iñárritu, which composed the first four psychological drama films Iñárritu directed.
Alejandro González Iñárritu
The following year, Iñárritu directed ''The Revenant'', which he and Mark L. Smith adapted from Michael Punke's novel of the same name. The film starred Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hardy, Domhnall Gleeson, and Will Poulter.
Waylon Jennings
Tired of the owner, Jennings quit after a minor driving accident. Jennings, and other local musicians, often performed at country radio station KDAV. During this time he met Buddy Holly at a Lubbock restaurant. The two often met during local shows, and Jennings began to attend Holly's performances on KDAV's ''Sunday Party''.
Buddy Holly
Steve Buscemi appeared as Holly in a brief cameo as a 1950s-themed restaurant employee in Quentin Tarantino's 1994 film '' Pulp Fiction'', in which he takes Mia Wallace and Vincent Vega's orders (portrayed respectively by Uma Thurman and John Travolta).
Mark L. Smith
Together with Alejandro González Iñárritu, he co-wrote ''The Revenant'', based in part on the novel of the same name by Michael Punke. The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hardy and Will Poulter.
