He hasn't been in a movie in a while, but I'll bet you remember this guy if you grew up in the 80s or 90s. For fans of the iconic movie The Sandlot, Shane Obedzinski who played Tommy "Repeat" Timmons has his own pizza place in Brandon.

Channel 8 reports that Obedzinski co-owns Times Square Pizza Company which is in the Publix shopping plaza on Bloomingdale in Brandon at Bell Shoals Road.

It's been 25 years since The Sandlot was on the big screen and to commemorate the anniversary, many of the actors from the movie are doing a tour to promote a documentary on how the movie was made.

This weekend, theaters in Oldsmar, Tampa and Pinellas Park are showing the movie for the anniversary. Visit FathomEvents.com for locations closer to you.
