Jones, Horst Buchholz, Henry Silva, Ruta Lee, Morgan Woodward, Bo Hopkins, Clu Gulager, and more than 70 other actors.

[on the challenges of making films on a low budget] I always wish there was more time. I storyboard all of my movies and have all the scenes drawn out and I'm lucky to get 60% of them. So yes, there are times where I wish we could have had this or that. However, I don't look at this going into a picture as a problem but a challenge. How do you take two extras and make them look look like 1,000? It's a challenge. And it's not only cinematic tricks, it's knowing your editing, the type of picture you're making and the audience it'll be playing to and what they expect. And not trying to make something that's unnecessary. You need to take a realistic approach.
