I was wondering if anyone knew anything about Steve Railsback who guest
starred in the most recent X-files episodes. I know he starred in the "Stunt
Man" over 13 or 14 years ago and seemed to be groomed for stardom and then
seemed to vanish from the screen except for occasional cameo roles such as the
one in the John Candy film "Armed and Dangerous". Just wondering.

Railsback was the star of Tobe Hooper's "Lifeforce" about space vampires. It
is available everywhere on video (in fact, you buy it in many places for
about $10.) BTW, Patrick Stewart also has a brief cameo in the pic.

Steve Railsback played supporting role (s) as twin brothers, the
apartment building neighbors of Sharon Stone in a weird little thriller
movie you can catch on video rental store shelves. "Scissors" is about a
timid, dowdy young woman (Stone) who sees a psychiatrist, has nightmares,
talks to a pig puppet, and collects and repairs broken dolls. Railsback
plays a rather nice man who takes an interest and her, and his slimy
brother, if I remember correctly. Also Ronny Cox is in the movie, playing
the doctor. It's kind of interesting to see Stone before she became the
big "sex symbol".

You can send email to mo...@ibmpcug.co.uk (The Blessed All-Knowing
Infallible Movie Database), with the Subject line "TRACE ACTOR Railsback,
Steve" (no quotes) and get a fairly complete list of the roles he's
played in both film and television.

Think globally, act locally.

Railsback played a very convincing Charlie Manson in the movie _Helter
Skelter_ (a 2-parter made for tv, I think).
