Editorial: Repeat Offenders (In Bigfoot Movies)

Many of us love to be entertained by Bigfoot Documentaries and also feature-length films, and some of us have quite a large DVD Collection of both. This is about feature-length films, and actors who star in more than one movie based on Bigfoot. The actor who is best known to be in multiple Bigfoot projects is Lance Henriksen, who starred in Sasquatch (The Untold), Abominable and Sasquatch Mountain (AKA Devil On The Mountain) between 2002 and 2006. He also narrated the Fox-TV Special World's Greatest Hoaxes: Secrets Finally Revealed. However, he is not the only three-peater in Bigfoot-related projects; Matt McCoy starred in Bigfoot: The Unforgettable Encounter in 1994, Little Bigfoot in 1997 and Abominable in 2006. Rance Howard, veteran character actor and father of Oscar-Winning Director Ron Howard, also starred in Bigfoot: The Unforgettable Encounter and in Sasquatch Mountain (Rance's son Clint was also in B:TUE). And, if we really wanted to, we could play a game of Six Degrees of Separation with some of these actors, such as that Rance Howard starred in B:TUE with Matt McCoy, who starred with Lance Henriksen in Abominable, as well as Howard co-starring with Henriksen in Sasquatch Mountain. Not too sure if there are any other correlations to make, but I do not know of any more at the moment. So, next time you stick one of your Bigfoot DVDs in the machine, you might see familiar faces in more than one Bigfoot Movie.
