::Navigation::
I have gathered the main actors that took part in the films, from Kerwin Mathews to Laurence Olivier all of them are here. You will find a small biography on them and a link to their filmographies.
Kerwin Mathews
Films: The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad as Sinbad
The Three Worlds of Gulliver as Gulliver
Probably one of the best actors that portrayed the fantasy character Sinbad. Before acting he was a high school speech teacher in the state of Wisconsin. He appeared along many famous actors in his era the likes of Frank Sinatra, Christopher Lee, Ernest Borgnine and others. I believe he retired from films in the 70's so to this day he is remembered as the ultimate Sinbad! thank you for all the memories Mr. Mathews.
Harry Hamlin
Film: Clash of the Titans as Perseus
American actor who is probably more notable for his role as Michael Kuzak in the hit TV series L.A Law back in the 80's. He played a very convincing Perseus in Harryhausen's last film Clash of the Titans along side an international all star cast. He still appears here and there in movies and TV series once in a while. But forever he will be remembered as the one who immortalized the be-heading of Medusa!
Burgess Meredith
Film: Clash of the Titans as Ammon
One of the truly great and gifted performers of the century. Out of all the actors here Burgess Meredith is my favorite, for so many reasons his career spanned many years and many roles in different areas, such as a very cool Penguin in the original Batman series, some very memorable roles in many Twilight Zone episodes one were he played the devil a very cool one! and of course as Mickey in Rocky. He was the poet and story teller Ammon in Clash of the Titans. What an amazing actor and likewise career. Sadly he passed away on September 10, 1997, thank you for all the memories. Filmography
Todd Armstrong
Film: Jason and the Argonauts as Jason
Born in July of 1937, Mr. Armstrong is remembered as the guy who went against the giant Talos and challenged the Gods in one of the most memorable fantasy films of all time, Jason and the Argonauts. Little info is found about him all that I know is that he appeared in these films besides Jason, Dead heat on a Merry-go-round 1966 and King Rat 1965 and others check his filmography below. Sadly he passed away on November 16, 1992.

Sir Lawrence Olivier one of the best actors of all time.
Maggie Smith
