My Take
Dan Shor is exactly the kind of actor I delight in spotting: a fixture of 1980s cult cinema rather than a marquee star. Ram in Tron, Billy the Kid in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, Enoch Emery in Huston's Wise Blood, his roles add texture more than they grab top billing. Over a career spanning more than forty years he has also directed, written, and taught acting, which tells me he loves the whole craft, not just the spotlight. To me he represents the dependable character player who quietly makes movies better. Finding names like his is one of the small joys of this work.
