What's up with that?

[–] tresjolie9 16 years ago

Was wondering about that one myself, it was strange because they listed the names of the other actors and actresses. And in the final season when they changed the credits, they changed it to the actor's full name.

In his bio, it said he wanted to just use his first name, hoping to get noticed, like 'Madona' but it backfired and he didn't get any notice.

He kinda did get noticed....Wesley also ended up acting as Mike Horton on Days of Our Lives the same time as he was acting on Land of The Lost.

I remember having a good time watching him 6 days a weeks back then.

This had me curios too. Here is the answer from Wesley himself. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z29DFcHczPo&NR=1 It is awesome to see that they still get along great after all of these years.

Part 1 of the interview.

Part 2

You are right...they are so cute together and FUNNY! Not many cast members still get along after 30 years.

Thanks for posting your link...I was able to find part 1 after seeing yours.

So, it wasn't his decision to use just "Wesley"...he said it was the producers....at least by season 3 it was "Wesley Eure".
He's still cute and Kathy is pretty.

Yea, I was going to say that he was a daytime soap hottie. Sometimes actors have a hard time escaping the stigma of being a soap star.
