Yes he definitely won the horse race with "Butterflies" but you know, it's tough to find really good work and I think he just did the best with what he was able to get. "If life gives you lemons, make lemonade" and he did. Why he didn't smash into the big time is anyone's guess

His first 2 films: The Fool Killer (1965) his debut at age 12. He plays a runaway during the Civil War who befriends a soldier suffering from PTSD played by Anthony Perkins and Butterflies Are Free (1972) where he is very good as a young blind man who needs to get away from his mother and live his life. A shame he didn't get more substantial roles worthy of the promise he demonstrated so early on.

I thought he was memeroble in FIST FIGHTER, lousey movie but a fine performance from him. I also thought he did a fine job in STAGE GHOST, but then again I wrote that picture so I'm biased. I did two pictures with Edward and I can tell you that the picture that HE was most proud of was ICE RUNNER. An excellent picture that he shot 111cin Russia and was absolutly marvelous in.

Yup. Fist Fighter was pretty bad, but his performance, as well as the beautiful score, made for a worthy viewing. And I would have expected him to be most proud of his turn in Butterflies Are Free, but The Ice Runner was no doubt a fine film and he was mighty good in it.

Now that's an accomplishment, sir! As for Stage Ghost, well, I'll seek out and report back.
Some hawks aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. -

My only solid memory would be from a Playstation
video game: Steel Harbinger, where he played a
scientist amid an alien invasion of strange pods
crashing down on earth and converting every
human they came into contact with into
weird robots.
He uses his half-converted daughter, Miranda to fight
the alien pod threat. It was a cheesy game but fun to
play and one of the first games I played with
full motion video and live actors.
I also remember seeing him on Port Charles sometime
after the video game. I was shocked when I heard from
a friend about Mr. Albert. I will miss him.
It's odd, how those who make an impact on our lives
however big or small, don't stay long enough for us
to say thanks. -

Mr Albert Jr, was a very talented actor, not to mention a wonderful human being, it is coming up to the 2nd annversary of his death and people are still talking about him and wanting to see and talk about his movies. He was truly a class act, and he deserves to be remembered for all of the good things that he did in his short life time, this planet earth is better off for having him and his dad here, for the time that they were.
I pray that his legacy will live on and he will not be forgotten. He deserves this and much more. He was just simply the best there was.
Ofcourse in the movie about Onassis
