- Hoyt Axton, Gremlins, 1983. A pair of Pats, Harrington and Hingle, were up for father of Zach Galligan’s hero beset by what critic Roger Ebert called “a plague of reprehensible little beasties who behave like a rodent road company of Marlon Brando’s motorcycle gang in The Wild One.” However, director Joe Dante always wanted songwriter Axton after seeing him as another Pop in The Black Stallion. Hingle’s test was called too good. “He would have stolen the entire movie.”
