Do you realize I have not done a movie in five to six years? Why? Because I was totally blackballed by the... liberals in Hollywood," he alleged. "They can destroy you. They're hateful people [who] don't just not like you, they want to take away your livelihood... that's why I live up in the desert on a dirt road... I don't have to put up with their crap."
Looking at IMDB's site shows that he worked pretty steadily in his acting career, taking ongoing roles and guest spots on television into account - probably more work than the average performer enjoys. I like that he kept a distance from LoonyLand and was selective about his projects. Gone eight years now...R. Lee left a unique and indelible impression that no one will ever match.
