| Doug in Joe Sarno's "A Touch of Genie" (1974) |
My friend Douglas Stone has been a busy stage, screen and television actor since the 70s. He starred in a grindhouse sex comedy for cult filmmaker Joe Sarno, played Stanley in a La Mama production of Harold Pinter's The Birthday Party, and made numerous appearances, throughout the 80s and 90s, in various network TV series, including Law and Order, New York Undercover and Spin City.
But as talented and experienced as Doug is as an actor, and as unique as he is in appearance and persona, he hasn't been very good at self-promotion - or even at keeping his resume up to date. As a result, the most widely used online databases (such as the IMDb) have skimpy, incomplete or inaccurate records of his accomplishments.
To try to correct this, I sat down recently with Douglas – or Stone, as his friends call him – for a chat about his many years on stage and in front of the camera...
