what happened to scorpio?


what happened to Bruce Byron the guy who played scorpio. i hear he died, but anyone know of what? or who he was excatly

reply

He went on to become "Terry Perkins" on the ITV police series The Bill. I think he was also in the Mummy Returns, but it could have just been a look-alike.

The actor Bruce Byron, who played Terry Perkins on THE BILL and was in THE MUMMY returns is a British actor, and not the actor in Scorpio Rising. Read Bill Landis' ANGER: THE UNAUTHORIZED BIOGRAPHY OF KENNETH ANGER, which will tell you what happened to Byron, who drove a cab in New York, was angry he was given no credit for the film, and was known to disrupt screenings of Scorpio Rising.

I believe the Bruce Byron in SCORPIO is also in the underground movie SHADOWS IN THE CITY (1991) along with actor/director Jack Smith.

He is definitely NOT the British Bruce Byron who is in lots of recent Brit TV & movies. If an IMDB moderator reads this can they please correct the error? Thanks.

Anger says he died. No details on how or when. Listen to the commentary, he seemed to be a real eccentric character.
