He was in at least 2 other movies with Warren Oates, Two-Lane Blacktop (minor role) and Cockfighter (supporting role) both by director Monte Hellman.

Thank you for that. Had not heard of Monte Hellman.
Low-budget early 70s cinema is always interesting even if not great.

Cheers,

"He was in at least 2 other movies with Warren Oates, Two-Lane Blacktop"

In 2-Lane Blacktop HDS plays a gay hitchhiker.

Oates gives him a ride and HDS puts his hand on Oates' thigh.

Oates then snaps: "I ain't into that!"

IDK why I always thought that was such a funny scene.

Probably because I couldn't picture HDS as gay.
