Stryker

Theodore "Ted" Ramón Stryker (born Gary Ramón Sandorf) known on-air as simply "Stryker", is an American radio personality and disc jockey. Biography Stryker began his radio career while attending the University of Arizona where he was a member of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity. During those six and a half years, he began working at 92.1 KFMA in Tucson, Arizona, taking his air name from Robert Hays' character in the movie Airplane!. He eventually moved back to Los Angeles, California, and worked at KROQ-FM 106.7 FM as a music DJ from 4pm to 7pm (PST). From September 4, 2007 to September 9, 2008 he was the on-stage DJ for the 5th season of The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Stryker voiced himself as the in-game radio disc jockey in Burnout 3: Takedown. He has also hosted shows on MTV, Fox Sports, VH1, Fuse and Direct TV and has acted in several feature films, including Grandma's Boy, Out Cold and The Sweetest Thing (he played a club-goer who stumbles upon the sight of Christina Applegate being felt-up by two other women in the restroom). During the August 2, 2004 episode of Loveline with guest Randy Jackson, it was discussed that he had been hired as one of the original judges on American Idol, a position which he turned down before filming began over image concerns. Jackson related Stryker's position as "It's going to blow my cool."
