Science Fiction 1. Jack Larson. 2. He's now writing TV and film scripts as well as successfully scoring movies and operas. Pretty good for Perry White's flunky, Great Caesar's Ghost! 3. Billy Barton. 4. From a Tibetan Delhi Lama of the same name. (Shazam, not Billy.) 5. James Arness. Of course everybody knows that. But did you know that contrary to popular belief this was not his first role? He had a whole slew of parts in loads of westerns, which is why John Wayne recommended him for the part of Matt Dillon in TV's Gunsmoke. 6. The Thing is probably one of the very best of the sci fi crop only because of Howard Hawks' direction. He made us believe these people were trapped in the icy wastes by an "intelligent carrot!"
