Welcome To
The SvenRanger Show
[ you probably know my more famous uncle, Svengoolie ]

Anyway ... uncle did his show with a segment on the performers of the old B&W horror flick Jungle Captive, recently on the MeTV network. In it was a role played by the young American actor ... Philip Brown.

Name ring a bell?

Well, it rang a bell with the House Un-American Activities Committee when they investigated a possible communist actor's association he helped start in the 1950's. As a result of lost work, he moved to England and resumed his acting career there.

Some years later, a young and truly un-American director came over to direct his new movie. He wanted someone with a strong American accent and Brown perfectly filled that bill. He got the small part.

The director?    George "I'm a 60's radical" Lucas
The movie?         Star Wars
Phil Brown's role? Uncle Owen !!
