I actually still have a Manimal Holographic sticker that changes from Simon into a horse. I guess that I know him best for The sword and the Sorcerer and also from one of my favorite bad movies Jaws 3-D. My frinds and I use to pretend we were the cast of The Sword and the Sorcerer whenever we had sword fights and played Jaws everytime we went in someones pool. I must admit that he definately made my childhood a little cooler.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-6677014276047508182010-12-02T16:09:37.552-05:002010-12-02T16:09:37.552-05:00I just saw him pop up on Jesus of Nazareth as the ...I just saw him pop up on Jesus of Nazareth as the roman soldier guarding the tomb.

And from what I've read, he was a really nice guy to boot.
