My Take

Kerwin Mathews is, for me, an unsung hero of pure cinematic wonder. As the lead in The 7th Voyage of Sinbad, The Three Worlds of Gulliver, and Jack the Giant Killer, he swung a sword at empty air that would later become Ray Harryhausen's skeletons and monsters. That demands a strange, total commitment: acting opposite nothing and selling the magic anyway. He never collected prestige awards, but I value the kind of stardom that survives in the imaginations of generations of kids long after the actor is gone. Mathews, who died in 2007, earned that quieter and arguably more lasting immortality.
