This barber, Shasteen, seen Oswald drive to his shop for haircuts several times. Twice Oswald took a 14-year-old boy with him.
Without going into all the drama surrounding the kid, he was found out to be a Russian language student of Ruth Paine’s at the time.
As an adult, the kid with Oswald turned out to be the actor Bil Hootkins. The whole thing with Shasteen & the kid is weird since he came back to his shop once alone & lectured him on Communism.
