or i should say, the man who played wooley, james baffico. turns out ol'wooley has an M.A from the univ of nebraska and a Ph.D. from the univ of michigan. he is mostly a soap opera director when not acting and has won (along with the rest of the directing team) 2 daytime emmys and been nominated for 6 others. |

Tom Savini comment from UK Dawn DVD: |
That is talent! Romero made a mistake when he stopped casting actors like Jim Baffico in his films. That's what made his work so appealing -- real people in unreal situations. |
Wow, you'd never think that looking at him. |

Very cool facts, and I collect useless ones as a hobby. I never would have known by looking either, he played his part so well, he was so easily hated and seen as a barbarian. |

Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

That woman is always the highlight of the film for me. I think her performance is still underated. |
