My Take
Lance Kerwin carries the texture of 1970s American television for me. Born in Newport Beach, he anchored James at 15 and shone in films like Salem's Lot, doing his finest work as a child and teen actor. Performers who held the center of the screen that young leave a real imprint on a generation's living-room memories. His acting had a delicate, inward quality that still holds up rather than feeling dated. He passed in 2023, and looking back I simply want to acknowledge a genuinely fine, underappreciated talent. Quietly, I tip my hat to him.
