  1. So happy to see a page dedicated to Richatd Egan. He was always a favorite and it’s my opinion that his work is largely underrated. He did star in B movies but did have A productions under his belt at Fox. He was wonderful in “Tensiom at Table Rock” (a classic) “Slaughter on 10th Avenue” and the undeservedly obscure “Voice in the Mirror.” His turn as a villain in “Untamed” also showed he was more than just beefcake. He wasn”t hammy and was always subtle. I think his work, his “non-acting” style has and will stand the test of time. He was also great and incredibly handsome in “Love me Tender.” He was a formidable King Leonidas and an absolute dream in “A Summer Place.”…oh and eye candy in “Underwater.”
