a.k.a. Robert Gribbin?

We’re convinced that the actor credited as “Robert Walter” in THE LOVE BUTCHER (1975)...

...is actually Robert Gribbin from TRIP WITH THE TEACHER (1975)...

...HITCHHIKE TO HELL (1977)...

...and TEEN LUST (1978).

What do you think?

  1. Yeah, I always assumed it was. He also had some weird alias for Hitchhike that I'm blanking on. I thought I had also seen him in another film, but I can't think of that either. Oh well.

  2. I think it's him, at least just based on those pictures.

  3. He's billed as "Crackers Phinn" in DON'T GO NEAR THE PARK!

    Thanks for the tip on LOVE BUTCHER. I need to see this!

  4. YES! "Crackers Phinn!" Thank you, Marshall! After Thomas mentioned Gribbin was in another movie, it knocked something loose in our memory banks but we couldn't pin it down. Of course, DON'T GO NEAR THE PARK! Lawrence Foldes ID's him simply as "Robert" on the audio commentary.

  5. Yes, that's what I was thinking of. He was in DON'T GO NEAR THE PARK as Crackers Phinn. That was the weird alias I was thinking of. It's either amazing or sad that I've seen every movie that this guy was in (or both). He might've been in more though.
