SO SAD TO HEAR THE NEWS OF THE PASSING OF MY DEAR OLD FRIEND, ACTOR, DENNIS BURKLEY. WE MET ON THE FILM SET OF THE INDIE FILM "BUMMER" IN 1972 AND WE'VE BEEN FRIENDS EVER SINCE. GOD BLESS DENNIS AND HIS FAMILY. REST IN PEACE BIG D!
My Stepfather, William Challee... in a scene from the film "Five Easy Pieces" with Jack Nicholson. He played Jack's Father. The film was directed by Bob Rafelson. And Fred Roos was the casting director. Fred later went on to cast me as the voice of Wedge Antilles in Star Wars: A New Hope.
As I walk along the Hollywood Stars (Bing Crosby, Rin Tin Tin, Rita Hayworth) on the way to my office, I think about my life's journey and what brought me to this place in time. I've lived in Hollywood most of my life. Grew up in a family of actors and later became one myself. I've been an actor, a television and film writer, and now a Talent and Literary Agent. As my Hollywood journey continues I invite you to walk along with me. I'll look back from where I've been and up ahead. Who knows what's around the next corner...
