Nifty documentary on cult movie actor George Stover
Woodyanders18 April 2017
Warning: Spoilers
George Stover rates highly as one of those guys who it's always a treat to see pop up in one low-budget indie film after another. Based in Baltimore, Maryland, Stover first started acting on stage in college -- he portrayed an alien in a one-act play based on the "Star Trek" TV series -- and appeared in various training films and TV commercials prior to making his cult cinema debut in a small part as a prison chaplain in "Female Trouble" by John Waters. Stover went on to have a bigger role in "Desperate Living" and then acted in several fun micro-budget backyard flicks made by Don Dohler. Busier than ever today, Stover has become something of a good luck charm for such indie filmmakers as Chris LaMartina, Matt Barry, Lee Doll, and Kevin Kangas. Everyone in this interview has nothing but pleasant and positive things to say about Stover, who by all accounts is an extremely nice, humble, and down to earth fellow. Moreover, Stover's harrowing close call in 2012 with a robber who broke into Stover's house and left Stover for dead after shooting him in the face is covered in extensive detail. A fine and affectionate tribute to a much beloved actor and cult cinema icon.
