Personal Quote:
My memories are of 95-degree temperatures and 98-percent humidity, and these big mosquitoes, and black flies and alligators. My fondest memories are of Adrienne Barbeau and her cavorting around the swamp. We had a great time down there in Charleston, South Carolina, Wes Craven and the whole bunch of us. We were like kids, playing these great comic-book characters. -- on Swamp Thing (1982) See more »Trivia:
Bears a resemblance to actor John Noble. Ironically they also share the same birth date, August 20, though Ray is 1 year older. See more »Star Sign:
