- Michael Bailey Smith grew up as an Air Force brat, traveling the world, and he graduated from high school in Tehran, Iran. He later served in the renowned 82nd Airborne Division as a paratrooper. He attended college at Eastern Michigan University, where his athletic talents earned him a spot as a free agent with the Dallas Cowboys. After a career-ending knee injury, he moved to San Diego and became a competitive bodybuilder. Michael stumbled upon acting when he accompanied a friend to an audition for A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Child (1989). Michael landed the role of Super Freddy and the rest is history. The "acting bug" bit Michael, and he hasn't stopped since.
- Noble Craig was a Vietnam war veteran and creature performer in a handful of horror and fantasy films. Noble was shipped off to Vietnam in 1969. On his 12th day of duty in Vietnam Craig stepped on a buried artillery shell, which resulted in the loss of both his legs, one of his arms, and most of the sight in his right eye. Undaunted, Noble embarked on a brief acting career after returning to America. Craig made his film debut as Tim McGraw, the Snake Man in Sssssss (1973). Craig went on to play such memorably grotesque characters as the vomit creature in Poltergeist II: The Other Side (1986) and the sewer monster in Big Trouble in Little China (1986). Moreover, Noble was the kind of guy who lived life to the fullest: He not only engaged in such activities as scuba diving, water skiing, jumping from planes, and swimming in the ocean in both Hawaii and Costa Rica, but also was a hunter and a dancer. In addition, Craig raised five children and worked as a car, boat, and motorcycle mechanic. Noble died on April 26, 2018.
