    It's really something to not only hear the interesting story of events that led to him traveling to Rome and being in this movie, and to then have the experience of making it AND running into the odd circumstance of its newfound popularity thru MST3K being what it is, that's gotta be fairly different for such a no-nonsense kinda guy that he seems. Alton's got a good attitude about it as well; no one likes being made fun of and he has his patience with it, but he also knows this is not something aimed at him or the whole of the movie itself, and takes it in confident stride. I'm glad he was able to land back on his feet in a career after such a weird time of bringing the Pumaman to life, and I'd hope for his success and relaxation after an undoubtedly busy life.
