After recently watching the film JUD, and witnessing the performances of the actors in the movie, I was struck, and intrigued by the fact that many of the main performers either had a small list of acting credits, or just this film on their resumes.
This prompted me to compose the following post, which I hope sheds light on these great actors, and what became of them. In saying this, I sincerely hope that they are well, and doing something they love in life, but, as a reviewer, it would have been great to have seen more work from them. I will start with lead actor Joseph Kaufmann. An actor who starred in a handful of films, he was perfect as the introspective, volatile Jud.
Bonnie Bittner was a lovely, sensitive presence as Kathy, the only woman able to become close to Jud.
Robert Deman was also excellent as the sexually conflicted, photogenic Bill, who had an ingratiating, smooth charm.
I also wonder what became of Alix Wyeth, the film's incarnation of a tigress. A woman of many passions and emotions, her Shirley was great to watch, a kind of movie version of daytime drama THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS' Jill Abbott.
