Today at HuffPoBob Cesca notes that George F. Allen, Jr., appeared in the Confederate-friendly bombGods and Generals.
This reminded me that someone near and dear to my heart also appeared in that film: Les Kinsolving! Yes, Your Daily Les portrayed confederate Brigadier General William Barksdale, a role he revisited inG and G after debuting it in the equally-floppy filmGettysburg.
That’s Les in costume on the right.
I would disagree about Gettysburg, that was actually a very accurate portrayal of that battle. That’s one reason why G & G was even more horrible, I expected so much better.
In Ventura County, Bruce Boxleitner attends the Moorpark reenactment…, the past few years as a rebel general.
At one formation as he rode by, one union private shouted out, “I’m throwing away my B-5 collection!”
