The late, great Jack Elam was one Hell of a character actor.
He was really good as a villainous bad guy in old westerns.
He had a look that just screamed “Hate Me!”.
He also portrayed scruffy sidekicks and the like, he fit right in.
Jack played a crazy guy in a memorable Twilight Zone episode.
Later in his career he got more comedic roles, like this one.
Doctor Nicholas Van Helsing, a proctologist with one of the
largest middle fingers known to man!
A superb portrayal, certainly one of the more insane characters
in the 1981 Burt Reynolds flick, The Cannonball Run.
An interesting character indeed…
