frank coghlan jr and Mako


Frank Coghlan Jr who just died this past week is credited in the movie, but his character isn't identified. I thought I recognized him as one of the customers in the brothel. Try spotting him in GONE WITH THE WIND where he's identified as the "soldier who stumbles/falls".
I seem to remember Coghlan and Billy Benedict being interviewed years ago, in particular about the Captain Marvel serial and talking about Louise Currie who at that time was still alive. I seem to recall Coghlan saying his eyebrows were singed when he stood too close in the transformation sequences.

I also met Mako a few years ago at an Antiques and Collectibles show where he autographed the box for Miike's THE BIRD PEOPLE OF CHINA. Interesting diversity in directors--Robert Wise and Miike.
