He was great. Always played the young guy. A convincing actor. Loved his performance in The Plastic Man.

Yeah, Don was great. About his always playing the young guy. Since he was 25 years old when he started mystery theater in 1974, Don was typecast. Since there were many older male actor veterans on the show, the producer seems to have only offered Don the young guy parts.
