Iโm mourning Paul Gleason today. For sci fi/pulp hero fans, heโll be remember as โLong Tom,โ the electrical wizard in the campy Doc Savage film from the 1970s. It was Gleasonโs first movie role. My kids just saw the movie for the first time a couple of weeks ago. His was one of those faces you saw all over the place โ TV and film โ but whose name never quite got attached.
