When his dad was a NY stage actor, he got his first Hollywood movie roll.

He told his wife they were moving by saying (as he told Dick Cavett in an interview) “Stick with me baby and you’ll be farting through silk soon!”

I was in grammar school when I saw Thunder Road at the drive in. It made an impact on me about masculinity, fast cars, etc.

I saw the movie as an adult and was disappointed at the anemic muffled six cylinder sound effects for Robert Mitchum's hot rods.

He had a short bit in In Harms Way and a co-staring role in Ride the Wild Surf.
