My Take
Edwin Neal holds a peculiar place in my affection. Born in Houston, he carved his name into horror history as the hitchhiker in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, a performance so unsettling it sticks with you for life. What I admire is how he kept working long after that, lending his voice to video game villains and quietly building a craftsman's career on and off screen. The fact that he also earned a Bronze Star Medal hints at a life far richer than any single role. I have a weakness for character actors who endure, and Neal's persistence earns my genuine respect.
