Names. compiles ten years' worth of interviews with as many
character actors. These are the supporting players who have made
generations of moviegoers blurt out "I know that actor- Who is
that? I've seen him a million times!" These actors' identities have
continually eluded most moviegoers. But their unforgettable faces
and personalities are another story. Included are exhaustive
interviews with: - R. G. Armstrong- Burly, prolific western star--
A perennial movie sheriff, Sam Peckinpah regular, and,
unrecognizably, Dick Tracy's arch-nemesis, Pruneface! - Dick
Bakalyan- The pugnacious Crown Prince of the Juvenile Delinquent
film, familiar Disney movie player, and co-star of films as
disparate as Ray Milland's Panic in Year Zero! and Roman Polanski's
Chinatown. - Don Pedro Colley- Imposing, regal co-star of Beneath
the Planet of the Apes (as the telepathic mutant inquisitor),
THX-1138 (as a hologram), and Sugar Hill (as Baron Samedi, king of
the zombies). - Royal Dano- In his last interview, Dano recalls his
extensive career, working with Alfred Hitchcock, John Huston,
Nicholas Ray, Jack Arnold, and dozens of other Hollywood notables.
- Jonathan Haze- As part of director Roger Corman's stock company,
Haze achieved cinematic immortality as the luckless "Seymour" in
Corman's original The Little Shop of Horrors. Besides his
multifarious work with Corman, Haze wrote AIP's manic Invasion of
the Star Creatures, and worked behind the cameras with the likes of
John Wayne. - Bo Hopkins- A cinematic stalwart of the '70s, whose
credits include The Wild Bunch (his debut), The Getaway, Monte
Walsh, American Graffiti, and The Day of the Locust. Another
perennial movie sheriff! - L. Q. Jones- A western, war, and
Peckinpah film staple, and director of the cult science fiction
classic, A Boy and His Dog. His recent credits include Casino, The
Edge, and The Mask of Zorro. (Also, quite possibly, the funniest
character actor alive.) - Buck Kartalian- Diminutive former
wrestler and body-builder, best remembered as "Julius," the ape
jailer of Planet of the Apes. Kartalian's film work ranges from
major Hollywood fare (Mr. Roberts, Cool Hand Luke) to some of the
wackiest exploitation films ever (The Acid Eaters, Please Don't Eat
My Mother!, and Devil's Angels.) - Paul Koslo- Laconic action star
of the '70s into the '90s: The Omega Man, Mr. Majestyk, The Losers,
Cleopatra Jones, Joe Kidd, ad infinitum. - Marc Lawrence- One of
the screen's greatest gangsters, with a career spanning well over
150 feature films and eight decades! Illustrated with over 100
photographs, Names. chronicles the lives of the unsung character
men who often outshone the stars that surrounded them. Includes
never-before-published interview material.
