Yes, he was. A one-time role was when he played Barney's inept cousin Virgil on the Andy Griffith show.

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

Yes, with Sid Haig who also passed away at 80 recently.

A Rob Zombie production

That may have been the worst episode in the 5 year B&W run.

Sid Haig as Captain Spaulding “don’t you like clowns” scene is one of my favorites, he was really great.

RIP, Michael.

He was an excellent actor. His performance as a killer in “In Cold Blood” was marvelous.

I think I saw him playing Mr. Mooney’s teenage son on one episode of “The Lucy Show” from the early 1960’s.....it aired on the “Decades” channel (old TV shows) in the last few years.

More inept than Barney? That doesn’t seem possible.

I remember her from Alice. Of the three waitresses, she was the most shy and the most pretty.
I think she also recently passed.
When that show was on, certain songs were super popular:

Abacab by Genesis.
Genius of Love by The Tom Tom Club.
I Love a Rainy Night by Eddie Rabbit
Hit Me With Your Best Shot! by Pat Benatar.

Michael J. Pollard. I liked him in “Little Fauss and Big Halsey” enough that I bought the Blu-Ray. Lauren Hutton was looking mighty fine in 1970.

That was a weird deal. She insisted news of her death be kept quiet for a full year

He was great in that movie. He had such a distinctive voice.

What was the name of the episode he played in Star Trek? Was it Miri? If so, I just don’t remember it.
