Moonfire

What an experience! I was in the movie with 5 roles. I'm the radio guy at beginning of the movie and the on camera newscaster are the end of the movie. I'm the silent, smiling cop inspector with Chuck Napier(my future roommate) and Sonny Liston. I'm the flamboyant assistant with the insane yellow/brown wig and 'stache as well. We shot most of it in Tucson and a little of it in El Paso. Great truck scenes and nice scenery. Muddled plot. Film had to be shut down til more money was raised. Egan wouldn't come back unless salary doubled. Napier became the lead. Action plenty, but, hard to figure out. I was assistant to director Parkhurst as well. I brought in Rosenthal, Bosnia, and pretty Pat Magrini for roles. The behind the scenes story is unbelievably wild. It would be a great book. (Oh, Ed Begley, Jr was on the crew and the sound guy, Keith Wester would go on to be nominated for 6 Oscars.)
