Daniel Stern almost wasn’t cast in the role of Marv in ‘Home Alone’ -- a recurring theme throughout his career and memoir, ‘Home and Alone.’

But he almost wasn’t cast in the role of Marv, the gangly, bumbling sidekick to Joe Pesci’s Harry.

When he does, he’s usually met with regalement about what Marv means to a generation of people — this writer included.

In another iconic scene in said brownstone, Stern’s Marv is electrocuted.

Besides, the last coach who left WSU for UW turned out pretty good for the Huskies: the legendary Marv Harshman.
