Fans have become familiar with the Michael Myers look since the 1978 Halloween movie production‚ most notably because the famous killer’s mask was originally for William Shatner’s Captain Kirk from Star Trek. In an interview with ComicBook.com’s Chris Killian‚ Shatner admitted that he receives no benefits from the costume used in the horror classic. John Carpenter’s Halloween was produced on a budget that required much improvisation‚ including the Captain Kirk disguise‚ which production designer‚ Tommy Lee Wallace‚ got from a Hollywood Boulevard costume shop.

Shatner responded negatively when asked if he got royalties from John Carpenter’s movie Halloween for using his Captain Kirk face for Michael Myers. “No‚ no‚ no. That mask was made on my face to allow the makeup people at Star Trek to use it to apply appliances‚ beards‚ and mustaches and pieces of plastic that altered my appearance‚” he shared. “They used that instead of using me‚ who didn’t have the time to do that.” RELATED: William Shatner’s Honest Response About His Role As ‘Star Trek’s’ Captain Kirk He further explained that the Star Trek series ended up getting canceled and had no idea what happened to the mask after. “Somebody found it‚ and then it ended up in a Halloween thing‚ and then my understanding of the story is the director of Halloween said‚ ‘Go get a mask‚’ and somebody grabbed that mask. It’s all inadvertent‚ as far as I know‚” he explained.

It was so scary looking‚” he explained. “To this day‚ I can’t quite explain why.

John Cazale’s first film job on Line introduced him to Francis Ford Coppola‚ who would go on to cast him as Fredo Corleone in 1972’s The Godfather. Before then‚ John was a theater actor who went on to do odd jobs‚ including cab driving and running errands for Standard Oil‚ during which he met Al Pacino. John appeared in only five movies that would define his career‚ and all earned him Oscar nominations for Best Picture. The actor‚ who was romantically involved with A-list actress Meryl Streep before his death‚ also appeared in Dog Day Afternoon‚ The Conversation‚ and The Deer Hunter‚ where he co-starred with Streep. ‘The Conversation’ (1974) THE CONVERSATION‚ John Cazale‚ Gene Hackman‚ 1974 After delivering excellently on The Godfather two years before‚ John became a favorite of Coppola’s who cast him as Stan in The Conversation. Due to the popularity of The Godfather sequel in the same year as The Conversation’s release‚ the latter did not get as much attention; however‚ it got its Oscar nod.

The heist film showed both actors’ characters‚ Sonny and Salvatore‚ attempting to rob a bank to finance the sex reassignment surgery of Sonny’s partner‚ amongst other expenses. John’s role as Salvatore was arguably his most intense and like the others‚ earned him another Oscar nomination. ‘The Deer Hunter’ (1978) THE DEER HUNTER‚ John Cazale‚ 1978. © Universal/courtesy Everett Collection John was diagnosed with lung cancer at the age of 41. However‚ he continued to appear on the set of The Deer Hunter in 1978. While the studio wanted him off the film due to his condition‚ director Michael Cimino and Streep insisted that it would be incomplete without him‚ and Robert De Niro covered his insurance policy. John died before The Deer Hunter premiered with Streep by his side and did not live to see their win for Best Picture at the 51st Academy Awards ceremony‚ where Streep also earned her trophy for Best Supporting Actress. ‘The Godfather’ Part I &; II THE GODFATHER‚ from left: John Cazale‚ Al Pacino‚ 1972 godfather1-fsc47(godfather1-fsc47) Director Fred Roos needed a “meek and insecure” actor to play Fredo and counter Pacino’s hot-headed and dominant character‚ Michael in The Godfather. John’s character eventually evolves into a more confident persona‚ raising questions from Michael‚ who doubts his loyalty to the Corleone family. The 1974 sequel‚ The Godfather II‚ saw the exposure of Fredo’s betrayal and the famous conversation with Pacino’s Michael at Lake Tahoe‚ where Fredo declared‚ “I can handle things. I’m smart! Not like everybody says. Like dumb. I’m smart‚ and I want respect!” The audience connected to that moment which John’s underestimated movie character is well remembered for. Both parts of The Godfather were Oscar-nominated‚ with the original winning Best Picture in 1973‚ as well as Best Actor for Marlon Brando and Best Adapted Screenplay by  Mario Puzo and Coppola.

UPDATED 2/1/2024 The Dukes of Hazzard is hands-down one of the most memorable and iconic comedy shows in history. Audience viewers watched the trials of the lives of the Duke family for six years straight in their hometown of Hazzard County. The last episode aired in 1985‚ but the show is still remembered as one of the best. Now‚ 1985 was over three decades ago. We’re all curious to see how the cast has aged over the years. You may be surprised at some‚ others not so much! Let’s get into the good stuff… 1. Tom Wopat (Luke Duke)  Wikimedia Commons // Instagram Tom Wopat played the role of Luke Duke in The Dukes of Hazzard. That role wasn’t his first or last either. Tom Wopat got his start in Hollywood in 1970 on the soap opera All My Children. But he didn’t get another gig until his Luke Duke. Then he went on to appear in various musicals and released some music of his own as well. Tom Wopat on Smallville / Everett Collection RELATED: John Schneider Knows Why The Fans Love ‘The Dukes Of Hazzard’: ‘It’s About Family’ (Exclusive) Further outside of Dukes‚ he booked 22 episodes of the hit ‘90s show Cybill. His character even tried to convince Jill to have an affair with him in Home Improvement. In 2012‚ he then took up work on A&;E show‚ Longmire. This time‚ Wopat played a sheriff. But‚ ironically‚ he’d then end up on the wrong side of the law himself. In 2017‚ he allegedly assaulted a woman backstage during a rehearsal for 42nd Street. But he’s mostly stuck to music‚ with his most recent album out in 2019‚ and he’s still acting at 72. He last appeared in an episode of The Blacklist and few episodes for the shows County Line: No Fear and County Line: All In‚ both for 2022. Here is a great panel at Comic-Con with both Duke Boys and Daisy‚ too! 2. John Schneider (Bo Duke) Twitter / Instagram John Schneider played Bo Duke‚ Luke’s cousin. Everyone‚ especially his fawning fans‚ loved Bo’s signature yee-haw‚ which could be heard all around the country. This became so famous‚ it’s hard to imagine John Schneider actually had to adopt a fake southern to be accepted for the role. He’s born in Mount Kisco‚ New York‚ to even land this gig‚ though‚ he told producers he was actually from Snellville‚ Georgia. He also told them he was 24 when he was actually 18. John Schneider / Everett Collection After that‚ he continued using his skillful voice work in other gigs. In fact‚ Schneider embarked on a musical career not long after The Dukes of Hazzard called it quits. He released a total of nine studio albums and 18 singles. But like his co-star‚ he also stuck to acting and even enjoyed a reunion with him. Schneider’s biggest role outside of Dukes came from playing Jonathan Kent in Smallville. Naturally‚ when Wopat joined‚ the show as a guest star featured a lot of Dukes references. He also played Michael Landon himself in the 1999 made-for-TV biographical special‚ Michael Landon‚ the Father I Knew. But just as Landon got into some trouble with former co-stars‚ Schneider got into some trouble with the law. In 2018‚ he discussed facing an ultimatum for failing to pay alimony to Elvira Castle. He had to serve 240 hours of community service or risk actual jail time. At 63‚ he’s showing no signs of slowing his acting career down‚ though‚ most recently having acted in the show The Haves and the Have Nots. He’s currently filming several different projects. Did you know John made a Christmas movie based on his Duke past? 3. Dukes of Hazzard: Catherine Bach (Daisy Duke) Instagram Everyone was crazy over Daisy Duke‚ the iconic southern belle who literally invented the term Daisy Dukes for short-cut jean shorts. She definitely inspired many guys to tune in for each episode. Naturally‚ this qualified her as one of the most popular bombshells of the 1970s. Catherine Bach / Everett Collection Before joining Dukes‚ Bach had a solid role in the 1974 Clint Eastwood‚ Jeff Bridges Thunderbolt and Lightfoot. She then became known as Anita Lawson on the classic soap Young and the Restless. But for the most part‚ unfortunately‚ after the show came to an end Catherine Bach’s acting career tapered off a little bit. However‚ that allows her to take life easy with her daughters as she’s now 69. One fun video from the past‚ Bach on Battle of the Network Stars Catherine and the Duke Boys perform the theme song… 4. Dukes of Hazzard: Byron Cherry (Coy Duke) Instagram Byron Cherry joined the Dukes of Hazzard cast in season 5 as one of the cousins. His time on the show was brief‚ lasting only 19 episodes. Cars and women defined Coy Duke’s priorities‚ and he frequently pursued the latter while driving the famous (and infamous) General Lee.

As part of a three-year contract‚ he also took part in Vietnam War Story. Later‚ he used his platform to become a spokesman for the American Cancer Society. He’s 68 years old today. Let’s check out some Season 1 Highlights… 5. Dukes of Hazzard: Denver Pyle (Jesse Duke) Wikipedia / Instagram A TV Legend… Although Denver Pyle sadly passed away in 1997‚ we had to pay him homage and include him in this piece. As someone who was known for playing the “demanding father figure” role‚ it’s no surprise that in the black and white photo above‚ he is on the right as the officer. However‚ he still became fondly known as Uncle Jesse‚ not to be confused with the Elvis fan fromFull House. As the moral backbone‚ he even helped direct a dozen episodes. Denver Pyle and Dan Haggerty / Everett Collection Thanks to The Range Rider‚ he became even more of a household name. He also became an important part of the legendary Andy Griffith Show as the recurring character Briscoe Darling. Then‚ in 1968‚ he also became part of The Doris Day Show as Buck Webb. Around 1988‚ he used his fame to arrange a fishing tournament in Paris‚ Texas. Proceeds went to children’s charities. Uncle Jesse ended up one of his last roles‚ as the man died on Christmas‚ 1997. Rest in peace. His last role ever was as Jesse Duke in The Dukes of Hazzard: Reunion!.  Here are some highlights from Season 7!
