My son is severely autistic. I know how difficult that can be. I've written a book on how to raise a child with autism but I'm not certain it's comprehensive enough.
Oddly, I came here to look for your book on George Reeves today. It wasn't on Amazon. I had no idea your child was autistic, too. It's practically an epidemic in the US today. Looks like I need to read your bio as well.
Best Regards,

excellent character actor, seen him in any number of roles
Back in the 90s, I think it was, I discovered that the book and movie lonesome dove was based in part on the movie bandolero, and the script for bandolero was written by james lee barrettNow, there are some great similarities between the characters and plot of bandolero and lonesome dove (there are a number of similarities); also the movie cheyenne social club was also written by james lee barret, and the two primary actors in that movie are also quite similar to the two main characters in lonesome dove.
Based on this information, I assumed james lee barrett was a pseudonym for larry mcmurtry, the author of lonesome dove. Then I saw a movie where james lee barrett acted. Not mcmurtry.
But before I was able to verify that mcmurtry was not barrett, I had informed imdb that the two were the same. Well, that was a mistake. I had posted this on a usenet groupforget the name that mr beaver also posted on. So he chewed me out for telling imbd that mcmurtry was barrett.
Hey, everyone makes a mistake.
Anyway, mcmurtry has been confronted about the connection between bandolero and lonesome dove, but his explanation (that it was a tribute to the movie) is lacking. Why would he write Dove as a tribute to some obscure movie? I suspect that mcmurtry was an uncredited script doctor for those two movies, and barrett got the credit. Happens all the time. IN fact mcmurtry wrote a book called film flam about his experiences in hollywood, but I read it a long time ago before I discovered the connection btw the book and the barrett movies, and I don't remember if there is anything relevant in the book.
There ya go!
Well, at least I'm not a stalker. I'm an adult who parents an adult son with severe autism. I don't chase an actor who hurt my feelings decades ago nor am I a bulletin board troll with multiple handles as you seem to be.
In addition, I wrote a book on the challenges of raising a child with severe ADD, ADHD, and Asperger's Syndrome. These are all forms of autism.
What have you contributed to society, Shelthom? Other than whinging about your poor hurt feelings and an extreme punctuation deficiency? Adults admit their errors and move on. They don't hold on for two decades and bitch about it online. Who do you think you are, Donald Trump?
Jim Beaver has written many of the biographies here on the IMDB. Check them out yourself. We all owe him a great deal for providing the information we use to look up the film information as well. That is, for those of us who are interested in such facts. Check the provider name, you will often find his name listed as the signer, that means he provided the facts. I discovered it myself a couple of years ago and did my own research. I was delighted to learn it was our own Bobby Singer from SUPERNATURAL who was so erudite.
Let me take this moment to say, thank you, Mr Jim Beaver, for all of the information. I provided a very minute amount of information for one single actor and I know how important it is to get things exactly right.
Thanks for asking, Shelthom. I am a teacher, a role model and I have taught many important lessons. When the student is ready the teacher appears. One day I hope your teacher will appear.
Bored now.
