Originally from the Bronx, now in Richmond, VA. Independent artist/animator/filmmaker. Big fan of tokusatsu (Japanese special effects), anime, animation, and comics. Among my own personal projects are REKIRA THE SUPER-MONSTER and LILY MERRIWEATHER.
A more famous Cassidy than I'll ever be! 😉
Over 20 years ago, I saw a documentary on Hopalong Cassidy on TCM, I think, and I found the history and praise very fascinating. Your video essay is also very well done, Bob!

They’re my favorite band of all time! My mom and big sister raised me on the Beatles at an early age.
I still fondly remember another documentary, THE COMPLEAT BEATLES. We still have the VHS we bought of that!

As you can tell, my copies of MARKALITE have worn over the years, but have nonetheless been greatly invaluable in my research of tokusatsu, the different genres, the fandom, and its connections to anime. I wish this magazine lasted longer! It was *exactly* what I needed.

He was also on screen in BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY’S (as one of Holly Golightly’s friends, being bailed out of jail after an out-of-control party)! You could picture Fred Flintstone in that spot.
He also voiced the Sultan in the Mr. Magoo movie, 1001 ARABIAN NIGHTS!
