He's the ultimate B-movie wiseass, and THIS-TV offers a double dose of him this week.
Dean Cameron is best known as Chainsaw from 80s classic "Summer School." He also played Jeff Spicoli in the TV adaptation of "Fast Times at Ridgmont High. Unlike the other actor who played Spicoli, he hasn't gone on to any Oscar awards. Still, he's been in a few movies worth noting. Among those is "Rockula," which airs at 1 a.m. CST, Monday, April 4. Aside from DC, this horror comedy boasts an awesome supporting cast: Thomas Dolby, Toni Basil and Bo Diddley!
A few days later, Cameron stars in "Miracle Beach." (9 p.m., April 6). The plot focuses on a dude (DC) who discovers a genie (Ami Dolenz...daughter of Monkees drummer Mickey Dolenz).
I'm not sure what DC is up to these days, but set the DVR and prepare for a Deanathon.
I read that he committed suicide a few weeks ago. So sad. He was really wonderful.
ReplyDeleteYeah, he wrote a long thing on a web site about being abandoned by some friends in movies. It was really sad.
