It's unbelievable, but Claude's Wikipedia biography says this:

I have only seen Claude Akins as Lobo once and you seem to know alot of his work. I was wondering what you thought his best preformences were in. He seems like a man that I would admire, and I am interested in some of his other work but he has done soo much I was wondering where to start. If you have any sugestions I would greatly appreciate it. You mentioned that "he could play the most hardcore villain than a person could stand." what would that be?

Every wiki I've ever seen to date is nothing but junk. The places are run like popularity cliques in high school - they care more about what the "in crowd" adds than about facts truth & NPOV.

Wikipedia is not the best reference on the Internet unfortunately. I agree with you about Claude - he did a lot of work during his long career. I know I was very young when I first became familiar with his work - I don't remember the exact year but I'll say it was definitely childhood years. I always loved the westerns he appeared in. I wish more of them were shown on tv nowadays.

Hello,
I agree with you about my grandfather's wikipedia page. I have heard it is very hard to change the pages however, even big time celebrities are not able to modify their own pages! What I think is a travesty is that he doesn't have a star on the walk of fame. Surely my grandfather deserves a star if the likes of Donald Duck and Tinkerbell have one.
Regards,
Conrad Akins-Johnson -

Sadly, that's where you're wrong dary. I've seen it with my own eyes. Factual info is added, & a regular will just come in on a whim & revert. Likewise false info that proved false & removed winds up re-added by one of the "clique". & heaven forbid if you dare question them about it.

I hate Wikipedia as much as the next person, but I think that Wiki is right about this one. I grew up in the 1970s and 80s and yes, this is the character he became most associated with. This is not a knock on his career.

Claude could be quietly authoritative and project intelligence when called upon to do so. He was so much more than a "hick" actor. I've seen fine work from him.
The Twilight Zone
used him well a couple of times, as did the Hitchcock shows, half-hour and hour long.
