I second Clu Gulager, I think the name worked against him career-wise. Ever see him in THE KILLERS with Lee Marvin and Ronald Reagan? He reminds me of Tom Skerritt in M*A*S*H in that film.

I always thought Sarah Douglas deserved a better career than she's had. She was so cold and nasty in SUPERMAN II, but also kind of sexy. Now she makes stuff like RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD III, although she handled a pump shotgun pretty well. I saw her on TNT in an episode of L.A. HEAT, man, did I feel sorry for her having to act in crap like that.

Charlie Spradling was in a couple of those movies too, or else in other Full Moon flicks.  Maybe that's why she's seem to have disappeared.

Lee

Angus Scrimm! This guy ain't in enough movies. The first time I saw Phantasm he scared the s**t out of me!!

 He has a recurring role on the show Alias.

K-Sonic

 Well, I always liked Timothy Farrell. He was in so many great roadshow & b-pictures like Test Tube Babies, Dance Hall Racket, Jailbait, Glen or Glenda? and Girl Gang.
 He could play a sensitive doctor or a cold-hearted criminal and make you believe him all the way. He's one of my favorites, yes indeed.

Mofo Rising

Just thought I had to add one of the most unsung, but still incredibly rated actors ever.

Harry Dean Stanton

It doesn't matter what type of movie you like.  At one point or another Mr. Stanton will cross your radar.

My favorite Stanton quote?

"Ordinary f**kin' people.  I hate them."

Stanton.  Undeniably the man.
Every dead body that is not exterminated becomes one of them. It gets up and kills. The people it kills, get up and kill.
