Jim Ignatowski
The Reverend Jim "Iggy" Ignatowski is a fictional character in the 1970s television series ''Taxi''. He was played by Christopher Lloyd. A gentle soul, Jim, in his own words, was "the living embodiment of the Sixties." His most noticeable character trait was his extremely "spaced out" behavior, a result of extensive drug use. Life Ignatowski was born James Caldwell. He claimed to have been born in Spokane, Washington, although his often-unreliable memory leaves this information open to question. He was raised in Boston, Massachusetts as one of three children in a well-to-do family. Jim's mother died when he was young, leaving Jim's father (later played by Victor Buono) to raise the family. (Jim states that while applying for his taxi driver's license that his father's name was Ignatowski—another example of his faulty memory.) While busy with his thriving urology practices, Dr. Caldwell left much of this task to various family servants. The father's absence seemed to affect al ...

Reverend
The Reverend is an honorific style most often placed before the names of Christian clergy and ministers. There are sometimes differences in the way the style is used in different countries and church traditions. ''The Reverend'' is correctly called a ''style'' but is often and in some dictionaries called a title, form of address, or title of respect. The style is also sometimes used by leaders in other religions such as Judaism and Buddhism. The term is an anglicisation of the Latin ''reverendus'', the style originally used in Latin documents in medieval Europe. It is the gerundive or future passive participle of the verb ''revereri'' ("to respect; to revere"), meaning "ne who isto be revered/must be respected". ''The Reverend'' is therefore equivalent to ''The Honourable'' or ''The Venerable''. It is paired with a modifier or noun for some offices in some religious traditions: Lutheran archbishops, Anglican archbishops, and most Catholic bishops are usually styled ''The Most ...
