Trivia:
Carolina-based actor/writer/producer George "Buck" Flower started out in "regionals"--non-Hollywood productions aimed at Southern neighborhood moviehouses and drive-ins. Flower also showed up in "four-wallers" for the family-matinee trade: he was seen as Boomer in all three Wilderness Family flicks of the late 1970s-early 1980s. Additional appearances include the Cook in John Carpenter's Starman (1984), the title character's father in Alan Parker's Birdy (1984), and "Nuke" LaLoosh's dad in Ron Shelton's Bull Durham (1988). The bulk of George "Buck" Flowers' work can be found in such low-budget esoterica as Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-o-Rama (1987).

Trivia:
The eldest of seven children of a Brooklyn bank executive, Robert F. Logan was eight years old when his family moved to Los Angeles. During his high-school years, Logan aspired to a career in professional sports, but was habitually sidelined by injuries and poor grades. Eventually, however, he was awarded a baseball scholarship to the University of Arizona. His ball-playing career came to an abrupt end when he was spotted by a Warner Bros. talent agent. After his movie debut in Claudelle Inglish, Logan was cast as slang-slinging parking lot attendant J. R. Hale in the weekly TVer 77 Sunset Strip (he replaced "Kookie"--aka Edward Byrnes--who'd been promoted to private eye), remaining with the series until 1963. He went on to co-star as Jericho Jones during the 1965-66 season of TV's Daniel Boone. For several years thereafter, little was heard from Robert Logan; he reemerged in the 1970s as star of the Wilderness Family movie series, and as producer and writer of similar family-oriented films.
