I would think that the technology for cryo freezing people would have been newish by 1999, so there probably aren’t too many people from before then who woke up in 3000. There may have been a few people who froze and unfroze around the same time, so he may not be THE oldest, but I think that he’s the oldest person in the series
When fry went to a self help group for people who were frozen, there was a caveman lamenting seeing his wife in the British museum. Presumably the caveman is older than Fry.
Same episode, but Steve Castle (the 80s business guy) said he froze himself in the 1980s until there was a cure for boneitis
As a side note, how’d you know that 80’s business guys name was Steve Castle? I feel like he was only ever referred to as “that guy”?
Yeah, his name isn’t mentioned in the episode, but he was named in the script
His name, as mentioned on the audio commentary and listed in the script, is Steve Castle, but he is only ever called “That Guy” in the episode.
I looked up his name for the comment, i wasn’t sure what his name was and at the time didn’t realize it was as obscure as it is.
