Does anybody remember the actor from the movie DETOUR well i was wondering if any one knows what became of his son. His son did a remake of the same movie but nothing else was heard of him. Anyone know?

I just read the thread about Barbara Payton and his dad is mentioned in the posted article.

Maybe imdb would have something current on him.

I have an old copy of filmfax that talks about the remake of Detour his son made. I will pull it out and write up some stuff on this thread this weekend!
