A little of this, a little of that. Ah, that was simple enough. Next?
Paul Naschy (El Hombre Lobo)
My all-time favorite international horror star (immediately followed by Barbara Steele, of course).
Ron Perlman (Hellboy rocks!!)
Ron was in my hometown a few years ago promoting Hellboy, and I missed him. Argh!!
Rod Serling
An excellent writer and television personality, to boot.
Jack Cassidy
By far, one of the best stage and television performers.
(A little late on those last two, unfortunately)
Backed in a corner? Confused, bewildered and beside yourself? Ask Senor Muy Macho and he will shed light on the darkness and confusion. So what if he wears a lucha mask 24/7 and thinks he's a suave badass?
