He played the title character in _Justin Morgan Had a Horse_ (Morgan, not the horse 🙂 ).

He was in the Twin Peaks revival a few years back. I honestly didn’t realize he was still alive and acting but he looked great and did a great job on the show.

Bus Stop. One of my favorite movies, Marilyn Monroe is ‘Cherry’, his ‘angel’! Hilarious and a little sad, too.

I Got Me An ANGEL!

I mentioned his death to **Mrs. FtG** the other day. She didn’t remember who he was. She thinks I have the whole IMDb memorized. Not yet, anyway. 😉

I have a big issue with _Bus Stop_, despite having MM and the wonderful Arthur O’Connell. The whole kidnapping a woman to be a wife thing is really, really awful.
