That is, it wasn't a costume.<br />Shortly after making this film, he moved to south Florida where he got a job wrestling Seminole Indians. I lost track of him from that point.<br /><br />Punch---You are correct. I had forgotten about the Barton Film part though. I saw a photo of the Lobster House somewhere recently, and thought about that damn film. That's it's local legacy I suppose.<br /><br />intell---Depp as the monster? I just don't see the creature wearing mascara.

The Lobster House was a resturant that sat just beside that bridge. The scene you describe was filmed there. I always wanted to eat there on my way to church (couldn't see driving home) but after seeing the movie (not in 3d) i was glad when they torn it down. Still love lobster, don't go to church though.<br />Oh by the way, Barton Film Company, a Jacksonville group, produced the movie.Punchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17904275145636893257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1673195676510322044.post-57956091745510610762009-05-31T04:07:48.168-05:002009-05-31T04:07:48.168-05:00But who was the actor that played that sad and sog...But who was the actor that played that sad and soggy part?
