Geeze. I thought that was Harry Dean Staton when i first glimpsed the photo…
It's been a while since Harry looked that young. A great actor. Always amazing to watch, even in a piece of crap.
OOOOH I can't wait…..though he STILL has my heart as the Doctor.P.S. Visa issues are horrible, but right now American Express issues are WORSE!
