I'm very preoccupied with trying to get a job and figure out some sort of creative direction at the moment - hence the lack of updates lately. I can only apologise and hope that you understand. Perhaps this page from early 1978 will help tide you all over for a bit.

Name that Actor!

Once again rivaling Lon Chaney Sr. as the Man of a Thousand Faces, Luke reminds me of some old Hollywood comedy character actor; but I can't place him. He might have acted in westerns or screwball things like It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, World - or Disney films like Cat from outer Space or Herbie. 1960's. Anyway: mature - handlebar moustached - chin dimple - gravelly voice, and he possibly smoked cigars. I can imagine him being a rich business tycoon - or car manufacturer, trying to stop Herbie doing something or other...

Wynn Wynn!

UPDATE: Found him! The late Keanan Wynn (1916 - 1986)

Thanks for reading! Care to comment?

I think Luke looks like the child of Captain Stern from Heavy Metal and a Fraggle. Red what were you thinking?

As for the storm trooper did you just do a half ass tracing of your trooper from this one?

Yup - it's a big chin alright! I still can't place that actor I'm thinking of.

I don't know the actor's names, but are you thinking of the big guy, who played jaws in the 007 films, or the bully from Pale Rider? Or maybe Lurch from the Adams family?

Or maybe you are just trying to get me to waste time so you can get me fired, and steal my much coveted job?
