	Actors - Angus Scrimm

Angus Scrimm is the screen name of Lawrence Rory Guy. He was born August 19 1926 in Kansas City. He adopted the screen name for his "Tall Man" role in the 1977 horror movie Phantasm and its sequels. Angus Scrimm is 6' 4" (1.93 m). To make him appear taller he wore suits that were several sizes too small, when playing the Tall Man in the Phantasm films

Scrimm grew up in Kansas City, but as a teenager, he moved to California and studied drama at USC under William C. De Mille. His first film role was playing Abraham Lincoln. This role led to a steady career in theatre, television and film. He admits that if it were not for Phantasm he might still be playing comedy roles.

As a journalist, he has written and edited for TV Guide, Cinema Magazine, the Los Angeles Herald Examiner and many other publications. He has also written liner notes for many LPs and CDs varying from Frank Sinatra and the Beatles to Arthur Rubinstein and Itzhak Perlman. He is a Grammy winner and many times a Grammy nominee for best album liner notes.
