Who was the actor with the red afro?


Since his picture was not shown, I couldn't find the name of this actor. He was one of the high school students. He was a white guy with a red afro. Who was he?

I think it was Bernie (David Jolliffe).

yes it was David Jolliffe...he now plays in a band in calf. called The Jenerators (They have a web site)...Crossing Jordan star Migual Ferrer
and Billy Mumy (who played Will Robinson on the old show Lost in Space)
are also in the band... check them out!! pretty good stuff (mostly covers)

I believe Jolliffe still does commercials and here's a bit more musical trivia about him: He and Billy Mumy were two of Shaun Cassidy's best friends during the "Hardy Boys" series era, when Cassidy was a million-selling teen idol. The three of them wrote songs together and I think it's the Shaun Cassidy Live lp that shows pictures of Jolliffe and Mumy as part of the touring band.

Back in the day, I heard a rumor that he was the drummer in the band that sang "Hang on Sloopy" (band name escapes me now).

The McCoys? I think he would have been about 12. ;-)
