Well, in this case it seems they must be wrong, as we are clearly dealing with 3 different actors here (see screen caps posted earlier).
You are right. I couldn't see those pictures earlier (I had some problems with pop-ups on a site), but now I've seen them and they can't possibly refer to the same actor. If those are the actual pictures, then we have three Roberts! Also, according to Wikipedia and to IMDb and TV-Now, Robert Lewis Bush married actress Meredith Baxter (born in 1947) in 1966, so he can't be the boy messenger in The Elephant Man! | | | | -- Enry | | | | Last edited: by White Pongo, Jr. |

Well, in this case it seems they must be wrong, as we are clearly dealing with 3 different actors here (see screen caps posted earlier). IMDB lists Robert Lewis Bush as being credited as Robert Bush for his work in the Costume and Wardrobe Department, BTW; according to IMDB he's been a costumer for 4 of John Carpenter's movies, 2 of which he also appears in very briefly as an actor. This might explain why actor/costumer Robert Lewis Bush (to use his full name) has been mistaken with the actors called Robert Bush appearing in The Elephant Man and Urban Cowboy. My guess is that most online movie databases use IMDB as a source, so it's no wonder this error has been propagated. Gosh,  a little further up I wrote that 3 sites crossrefering as source of an information doesn't necessarily verify this information. And BINGO in the same thread we've found proof for this thesis. I think for the future I'll use this as referential thread for the uncaring user of "name variants" and "credit lookup tool" | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

I've already documented that it's not Robert Lewis Bush, but this is could be interesting anyway. What's your source on this, and for the birth year? | | | | Last edited: by Behemot |
