I thought Darwin Joston should have made more movies,what happened to him? Great tough guy Character.

He was terrific in this film, but, sadly, this was only large acting role. After AOP 13, he had small roles in David Lynch's Eraserhead and in Carpenter's The Fog, but his career never really took off, and he quit acting in the mid-80s. Afterwards, he worked as a driver or transportation captain on various film and television productions, and he died of leukemia in 1998.

Should have been a big star.He reminded me of Glen Ford.

You'll like this. I posted a link to this article in the Darwin Joston boards last year, but it's worth doing again.
