Gary Riley and Dean Cameron Did Not Get Along On Set?


Is it true that although the friendship bond on screen between "Chainsaw" and "Dave" worked, that off-screen the actors did not get along? Was it known to be personality issues? Or were words exchanged between them that the other did not like? What if anything, was the known reason for their off-screen conflict?

The only ones you could ask are the two actors themselves, and I highly doubt either of them would really say.

I read on Dean Cameron's blog that that wasnt completely true. He was upset about Gary's death also. I dont remember the website but its safe to assume the answer no

Gary Riley is an old friend of mine and is alive and well. I introduced him at the Aero Theatre in Santa Monica, CA last night before a showing of SUMMER SCHOOL. He introduced the film in true comedic fashion. Gary did in fact tell me about some friction on the set, but I won't go into the specifics out of respect for their privacy.

I read an interview with Dean Cameron awhile back where he did say they didn't gel in real life. Nothing major, just very different personalities. Also the guy who plays Dave is not dead. Don't know why some people start lame rumors.

If he's not dead, then they should dig him up.
