"Christopher was all r2000ight. But he wasn't one of my favorite people. He was a 170 pound skinny kid and I gave David Prowse, a good guy, some suggestions on how to build him up. But after he built him up, Christopher started walking around like a 'serious guy'. We had a couple of confrontations. He was a 28 year old with a 16 year old brain. Christopher was rude to a lot of people, but he didn't dare act that way with me. I had him against the wall one day because of something that he said. Dick(Richard Donner)came running up. "Please, Jack. Don't hit him in the face!" Christopher and I sorted it out. I told him "If you talk about me again, you put 'Mister' in front of my name, sonny. And don't even say "Hello" to me unless I tell you to! We never had another problem, but then I never really rapped with him after that. I didn't care for him. I'm not trying to knock a dead guy, and I empathize with what he went through after the accident. I give him credit from the time that he got hurt, though he did many things that helped many people. That was magic and he conducted himself brilliantly. For that I give him five stars. I applaud him for how he helped people. They asked me to come when he got his star on Hollywood Boulevard, but what could I say? I'm not going to be a hypocrite. We weren't the best of friends - some people liked him, some didn't."

  SO to those who have said that Mr. O'Halloran is speaking ill of the dead, think again.
  He has made it clear in this quote from Starlog a decade past that he is NOT trying to knock a dead guy. His heart went out to Chris after his accident and he commends him for his humanitarian efforts.
  He should also be commended for telling the truth and telling it like it is.
  Nuff said.
