Gov. Rick Scott has appointed a former Leon County Clerk of Courts employee to a state retirement advisory panel.

His office announced the pick Wednesday.

Tom Napier, 81, of Tallahassee, worked for the clerk’s office as a special coordinator until his retirement in 2000.

Napier said he will join the Florida Retirement System’s career service advisory board.

He is appointed for a term beginning May 18, 2016, and ending Dec. 31, 2016.

Napier is a cousin of the late character actor Charles Napier, who died in 2011.

He appeared regularly in director Jonathan Demme‘s films, as well as hundreds of television episodes and movies, including “The Blues Brothers,” “Rambo: First Blood Part II” and “Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery.”
