He made a great splash in The Black Stallion as well. An absolutely gem of a performance and unlike most of his exhuberant work. He worked continually in tv during the 50s and 60s. Episodes of Twilight Zone and Naked City and Run For Your Life. Really, he had the most amazing career. I love his performance in It’s A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.
Never saw The Black Stallion. Yes, he got work in a lot tv episodes, but except for a movie here and there, his star until Sugar Babies was mostly declining. Didn’t dislike him...just never much of a fan.
