Wasn’t he in ‘Little Fauss and Big Halsey’ with Redford?

The title refers to an inscription written by the late actor Michael J. Pollard in Jim Capaldi’s book while they were both in Morocco.[1] Capaldi and Pollard were planning to work on a movie that was never filmed. Capaldi said:

Pollard and I would sit around writing lyrics all day, talking about Bob Dylan and the Band, thinking up ridiculous plots for the movie. Before I left Morocco, Pollard wrote in my book ‘The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys.’ For me, it summed him up. He had this tremendous rebel attitude. He walked around in his cowboy boots, his leather jacket. At the time he was a heavy little dude. It seemed to sum up all the people of that generation who were just rebels. The ‘Low Spark,’ for me, was the spirit, high-spirited. You know, standing on a street corner. The low rider. The ‘Low Spark’ meaning that strong undercurrent at the street level

He also played cousin Virgil on the Andy Griffith show in 62 or so.

I remember breaking up when one of the female stars (can’t remember now), said he reminded her of a Cabbage Patch doll.

He was a unique character actor. Bonnie and Clyde, Star Trek, Lost in Space-I remember seeing him in those. I’m sure I’ve seen him in other roles, but none immediately come to mind.

Apparently he was in a movie, “The House of 1000 Corpses” that he is known for, but I didn’t see it.

Definitely not leading man material, but memorable nonetheless.

RIP
