PSA: There’s a rugby player who looks just like ‘The Simpsons’ villain Hank Scorpio

I’m going acknowledge up front that I’m probably late to this, but I don’t care: I have discovered Brad Parker, the rugby player who everyone thinks looks like Hank Scorpio.

Scorpio, you probably recall if you’re a Simpsons fan, is the centerpiece at the center of You Only Move Twice, the Season 8 episode in which Homer moves to Cypress Creek to work for the Globex Corporation. It’s run by Hank Scorpio (voiced perfectly by Albert Brooks), who turns out to be a world-dominating villain who also happens to be a really good boss.

Parker is a centre for the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles rugby squad in Australia. And while flipping through Reddit, I stumbled upon “Hank Scorpio makes a beautiful run to score a try off of a double pump pass from Kieran Foran.”

“Isn’t Scorpio the name of the guy from The Simpsons?” I wondered. Upon watching the video and googling, I have discovered Parker-as-Scorpio is a thing:

You see it, right? I told you this was important! I was truly missing out on some fun.
