      Because i always liked him and i know how stupid and woke things are now i am always afraid to even bring that film up, because i worry mentioning it will get it in the view of the wrong person and they will cancel for something from decades ago as they have done to others. i personally do not find it offensive at all.

    I hope that Rich reads this comment but totally don’t think or expect him to. I am part of a very little local film production team that mostly does horror films in Omaha Nebraska. Every year we go down to Kansas City to a horror convention and one year Tommy was there as a guest and I can tell you that he is a real person and in no way acted like a celebrity. He let us hang with him and we drank and did shots with him. I have no allusions to him remembering us but he talked and hung out with us and treated us as peers and friends! He had absolutely positively zero obligation to do that. It’s one thing to meet horror film actors but Tommy is a freaking legit movie star and we are essentially nobody’s but he made us feel special and important. He would never remember any of this I’m sure and that’s fine but he gave us a memory that we will remember until the second we die and we love him for it!

      Unfortunately, his later output would not do as well in the theaters after "Outsiders". I loved Grandview USA but it got panned by the lousy critics. Secret Admirer was also great but the soundtrack didn't get promoted. I'll never understand how "swept away" was even put out as a movie with some of the unbelievable scenes. I wonder if even Howell thought could accept that movie as worth putting out.
