That he appears in so fews eps is a testament to Paul Michael's ability to create a truly memorable character
Very true! There are other characters who did this as well--Buffie Harrington and my personal fave Buzz Hackett--just to name two. I've not seen 1970 PT yet, but I've always heard fantastic things about Buffie and the actor that played her, Elizabeth Eis. She was even at a Festival once. Buzz was only in 4 episodes, but he made quite an impression didn't he? Especially, obviously, on me!
Just saw KJR's last ep btw, 5 total. So sad that Paul Michael didn't get the opportunity to return in another role (although he IS in HODS for about 2 seconds--he's the guy that wakes up Jeff and gives him the time before Jeff heads out to St. Eustace Island). But PM was great as KJR, his scenary chewing was right up there w/Grayson's!
And I especially loved [spoiler]the way he'd laugh at Magda when he, Istvan and the other 'jurors' are chasing her through the cemetary after her gypsy trial[/spoiler]
Wish Michael Hadge (Buzz) would come to a Fest, sigh.... :-
