Title: Tom Happer in CRAWLSPACE (1972)
Post by: Gothick on May 04, 2015, 10:51:58 PM

I just watched the 1972 TV movie CRAWLSPACE.  I've heard about it for many years but had never seen it.  I was unaware that Tom Happer (Jeremy Grimes in 1840) was one of the leads in this offbeat psychological drama.

Very believable work from all involved.

I remember seeing this when it premiered back in the day. I haven't seen it in years but these MOTWs used to be a staple on local TV stations in this neck of the woods.

Tom Happer was reasonably talented and certainly eye catching but he doesn't have very many credits post DS. Aside from Crawlspace, the only TV credit that I could find was an NBC soap. The soap had two incarnations and slightly different titles: Friends and Lovers and For Richard, For Poorer. Neither version lasted too long. Presumably, Mr. Happer left show business at some point. I wonder what became of him.

There were more credits when I checked IMDB earlier today but mostly random 1970s television roles.  There was one other credit from around 1984 and then nothing.  Presumably he changed careers.
