Gregory Walcott, star of Plan 9 and movies that cost even more.
"Ed Wood has etched my name forever in the annals of film history," he said a 1998 Filmfax magazine interview with writer Dwayne Epstein. "The thing that really bugs me is I will go to my grave not remembered for those meaty roles I did for the likes of John Ford, Raoul Walsh, Martin Ritt or Steven Spielberg but as the leading man in a film that many movie historians regard as the worst of all time. It's enough to drive a Puritan to drink!"

I know I saw him in movies other than "Henry," but he was so goddamned creepy in that it colored everything else. Kind of like Ted Levine and "Silence of the Lambs."
