Cracking Up (1994) Actor Matt Mitler may Resemble Robert Picardo & another actor, actress or group from some movie, TV series, etc. I was not quite sure of. My guess? Possibly Judith Hoag. She & Picardo were in separate episodes of FOX TV western series The Adventures Of Brisco County Jr. (1993) with Bruce Campbell. br Connections: br - Mitler's looks may be a bridge to the Star Trek & Star Wars sci-fi universes. The obscure science fiction films he appeared in, such as Brett Piper's Battle For The Lost Planet (1986) & sequel, Mutant War (1988), may in fact contain some deep seated references to these major franchises. br - I did a past video on actress Ruth Martinez, who co-starred in 1984 horror film The Mutilator (with Matt Mitler), for example. I thought her looks very similar to Star Wars Princess Leia actress Carrie Fisher & at the same time also possibly director George Lucas, prequels Count Dooku actor Christopher Lee or Ghostbusters actor Dan Aykroyd. br - I did another past video on Star Wars prequels Anakin Skywalker Darth Vader actor Hayden Christensen. I thought his looks also similar to Robert Picardo.br - The title for Brett Piper's Mutant War may actually be a future reference to the X-Men series of films. Star Trek The Next Generation (1987) Captain Jean-Luc Picard actor Patrick Stewart later played mutant mentor Professor Charles Xavier in the FOX X-Men films from 2000. Robert Picardo is known to Trek audiences as The Doctor, an Emergency Medical Hologram (EMH) on Star Trek Voyager (1995-2001). br - Matt Mitler (Deadtime Stories (1986)) & Robert Picardo (The Howling (1981)) both played werewolves in movies.br - In Battle For The Lost Planet Matt Mitler's character is named Harry Trent. I thought this may be a reference to musician David Bowie who worked with Producer George Lucas on Labyrinth (1986) & did a 1996 song with Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails entitled I'm Afraid Of Americans. br - Bowie had acted in the 1976 Nicolas Roeg film The Man Who Fell To Earth. br Robert Picardo appeared in a 1987 made for TV movie remake.br - Also in Battle For The Lost Planet you will find actor Joe Gentissi who plays post apocalyptic gang leader Mad Dog Kelly. I thought this character bore a resemblance to action actor Sylvester Stallone.br - Actress Candy Clark was in George Lucas teen drama American Graffiti in 1973 with actress Cindy Williams. She was earlier in Director Roger Corman's apocalyptic hippie drama GAS-S-S-S with Talia Shire (of the Rocky films).
