Etc, etc.

"I don't resent being identified with B science fiction movies at all. Why should I? Even though they were not considered top of the line, for those people that like sci-fi, I guess they were fun. My whole feeling about working as an actor is, if I give anybody any enjoyment, I'm doing my job, and that's what counts."

So many good movies of that era. I loved his outlook, so many folks were ashamed of doing B movies.

Love Agar! He did plenty of B stinkers but was in his share of A films as well. Significant roles in Fort Apache and She Wore a Yellow Ribbon aint too shabby!
