known and respected after he opened up his own screening  studio on Sunset Blvd. where Tom McLoughlin and Michael Hawes worked  as projectionists. He was often asked to appear in films, from such  elite names as Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda, and he always turned  them down. After discussing their passion for filmmaking with Tom  and Michael, he agreed to appear in "One Dark Night", at the time  called "Rest in Peace". After filming his scenes he expressed his  sincerest gratitude to Tom and disappeared into the dark cemetery.  Two days later he passed away. When his family came home from the  funeral, his check had come in the mail from "Rest in Peace  Productions".
