RiP...

Thanks for posting. I believe I heard the news, wasn't sure. Now I know. Skip Homeier was an excellent actor, he often played, when he was younger, punks, jerks and psychopaths, though he did grow out of this. He was somewhat of a name player in films and on television and yet despite reasonably good looks he never became a star. He had the chops but he lacked the charm. Like the much older Dan Duryea he had a way of not generating viewer sympathy or empathy that made him excellent casting as a man you love to hate. With better luck he might have become an offbeat star but, alas, this wasn't in the hand he was dealt.
