Strange man

Reading about his life and the charges against him I’m not so sure I’d want to be anywhere near him even on a film set.

Wouldn’t want my children near him either. Not sure if the indecent exposure charges were to adults men or women or children??

He seemed the perfect person for the role of the creepy fella in poltergeist II though… 2A02:C7D:3E8B:6E00:4C49:4E9A:420:E3F5 (talk) 22:31, 7 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

When reading the list of "charges against him", you have to consider the context-- virtually anyone who was doing any kind of avant-garde art and political protest in the 1960s could easily end up with a similar rap sheet. The indecent exposure charge was for Living Theater performances that included nudity, something that would be considered unremarkable in performance art now. The disorderly conduct charge was a sit-in protest. ←Hob 04:09, 7 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
