Remember when this bum tried to pressure his son’s girlfriend to get an abortion?
He got a break when he, a 3rd-rate actor coming off stints like playing a druggie teen on The Streets of San Francisco, somehow lucked into being cast in a (relatively) low-budget flick that turned into a blockbuster. He apparently signed on for 0.25% of the gross, which turned into a hell of a lot of $$$, though nowhere near Alec Guinness’ 2.25%. Poor James Earl Jones unwisely rejected points in favor of the princely sum of $7,000.
Tonight’s Episode: Poisoned Snow.
Co-starring Clu Gulager.
Jones probably could have gotten 5%.
