Oh I probably went on about it, a while back. According to the IMDb, Dan Barrows played "Cemetery Man #2", in the Big Bus. I don't recall the character. Probably in the scene where Dan Torrance and Kitty Baxter reunite, and she asks him to drive for her bus company. It's the only cemetery scene they had.
BTW, Charles Fries' company also did "The Martian Chronicles". And a Tv movie that's recently been aired on ThisTv, "Terror at London Bridge". Which I liked up until Adrienne Barbeau's character dies. Oh why didn't they oft Stepfanie Kramer's character instead?!
Fries has done a LOT of Tv movies. But I don't think any ever erked me more than his "The Word" (1978). Sort of a distant predecessor of "The Da Vinci Code". Which took 480 minutes to get around to backstabbing the Christian faith. I'm sure that pleased all the atheists in Hollywoodland. It's since been chopped down into an even more awful 93 minute DVD version. And to think of all the great movies from the 1970s, that still ARE NOT on DVD, but this turkey IS!
BTW, if you have the time and bandwidth, check out "epoleneP" (ten parts) on YouTube. One that definately ought to be on DVD by now. What gives?
