Apparently then, it's probably safe to say that RD was typecast throughout most of the '60s. 

    Now you've got me thinking about him on DS, TZ, his first Bonanza...

Thanks, David!  It was cheesy but kinda fun.

Roger's role in the film must not be very prominent, he's not even referenced on a fan site...[/color] http://www.williamsmith.org/surf.html

It's actually part of the official site of actor William Smith, who is friends with Peter Brown (are you old enough to remember Laredo?).  Both are very pleasant to their fans at autograph shows.  (Smith, btw, confirmed that he was the boy who kicked the girl's ball onto the roof in The Ghost of Frankenstein.)

Anyway, that page has a link to a credits page for Ride the Wild Surf that includes a capture of Roger from the movie's end credits.  His character was so obnoxious.

Oh, the pain, barnbasjr!

There's always the Help section.  

For this past Fest, I heard from a lot of people-- many more than usual-- who made their hotel reservations early to insure they would have a room at the event hotel, only to cancel them later.  The Marriott has explained that it's their policy that once the block(s) of rooms reserved for the Fest sell out, they do not again offer the rooms that represent canceled reservations at the Festival rate.  So unless a lot of the fans who made their reservations after the last room was reserved in the block agreed to pay the higher rate (which I seriously doubt), I'm sure that many of the rooms in the Brooklyn Bridge hotel's "sold out" block went unused by Festival goers.

however there was one thing about the timeline here that didn't make sense to me.when julia first meets mrs.rumson she learns that she has been married six months(and presumably living in new york for some time before this).but six months before this the plot was set in 1897 and angelique was actively there.so how much time was supposed to have passed in these few months?

(Note the spoiler icon.)

In addition to Brandon's theory, I'll offer that Angelique and Barnabas didn't return to a present time through the same means (he, I believe, had help from the Leviathans, and she from Diabolos), and though we know that Barnabas returned (hauling the "Leviathan leader") in late 1969, we really can't pinpoint when it was that Angelique arrived from 1897.  I read a theory by Joeytrom that she was returned to a point in time that was not long after she was sent to 1796 (only to be burned by Ben).  This theory works for me because it gives Angelique enough time-- a full year-- to become a successful model, meet Sky, and be Mrs. Rumson for 6 months.  This would make Angelique's timeline (ignoring 1840 for now):

1795  --->  1968  --->  1796  --->  1897  --->  1969

How does that work for you?

Oh Midnite you are good. lol You have to stop counting chairs on a Saturday. lol  My observation was that all the seats that were in the room were filled during one of the main events.

Maybe that is why I failed my math regents. That was good research you did. You got me. lol

As I indicated in my last post I believe that any promotion would have drawn more people. Just my opinion.

LOL, thanks, but I wasn't counting, I swear!  The numbers are on a chart that comes up in a Google search.  And I remembered there being a lot of empty space in the back of the room.  But I hear you, and of course your opinion is always welcome!
