I accidentally watched a Wayne Crawford double feature today when I followed The Evil Below up with Barracuda. I had never seen a movie starring Crawford before. Now that I have, I'm wondering how he ever became a lead actor.

His bio on letterboxd (taken from wikipedia) proudly touts that Variety called his performance in Jake Speed "well played". Not exactly high praise. Based on the two performances I've just seen, I think it's safe to assume that was the most complimentary thing (maybe even the only complimentary thing) anyone could find about his acting.

Based on the title, poster, tagline and plot synopsis, you'd probably think The Evil Below is a horror movie. It's not. It wants to be an Indiana Jones style adventure movie with slight supernatural elements but it fails at that. Crawford was probably trying to rekindle some of that Jake Speed magic. This one is not so well played though.
