Well damn......Sorry I missed this before as I'm a fan and as a matter of fact I watched "Deliverance" just yesterday! That was his first big break as well as it was for Ned Beatty.

btw.......Bill McKinney who played the sodomist cracker was a well trained actor starting out as a classmate of Dustin Hoffman and Gene Hackman at the Pasadena Playhouse and later went on to be accepted and study at the Actor's Studio in NYC. You see him all over, a great character actor, but I was really amazed to find out his background. You might also enjoy theis info on Billy Redden, the Banjo Boy.
