MASTER THESPIAN
Ed
Ed was not a natural actor. But he always seemed to give his all when the camera was rolling. Even if his all wasn't much.
 | The Baron of Arizona stuntman - "Woman falling from stagecoach" |  |
 | commercials various |  |
 | Crossroad Avenger "Cowboy" |  |
 | Crossroads of Laredo "Cowboy" Shot before the main action begins, Ed's character's demise sets the stage for the main story. |  |
 | Fugitive Girls Man on street, "Pops", and the Sheriff "Pops" is the key role here, with Ed actually trying to really perform, hamming it up as a feul station attendant. The Sheriff is a very different role, with Ed doing a convincing job with the little he has to do in the part. All in all, the best example of Ed's range as an actor. |  |
 | Glen or Glenda Glen Ed's greatest(?) part. His Charles Foster Kane. |  |
 | Hellborn Juvenile Delinquent / various women Ed plays the heavy opposite Conrad Brooks, but also doubles for occasional female characters in the footage originally shot for Hellborn. He appears only as himself in the "Home Movie" footage. |  |
 | Jail Bait radio announcer |  |
 | The Love Feast Mr. Murphy Ed's largest role since Glen or Glenda, he serves mainly as comic relief to the sexual shenanigans. |  |

 | Plan 9 From Outer Space "Man at funeral" |  |
 | The Sinister Urge Danny In a fight with Conrad Brooks originally shot for Hellborn. |  |
 | Take It Out In Trade "Alecia" As footage in Take It Out In Trade: The Outtakes clearly shows, Ed is playing a transvestite here, not a woman. |  |
 | Take It Out In Trade - The Outtakes "Alecia" / himself The stuff that wasn't good enough for the film. |  |
