Filmography
[edit]Film and television
[edit]Caudell had roles several minor films for the teenage market in the 1970s, including the lead role in the musical film Hanging on a Star, in which "a big rubbery Lane Caudell arises on a swampy stage and sings in a bubblingly oily voice."[3] Caudell had the starring role in The Archer, a fantasy with swords and sorcerers.[4] Caudell's character, Toran of the Hawk Clan, has been framed for the murder of his father, Chief Brakus.[5]
Hal Erickson praised his performance in Goodbye, Franklin High.[6]
In her 1987 memoir I'm with the Band: Confessions of a Groupie, Pamela Des Barres describes Caudell as having given up show business, "after playing a caveman in a TV movie and a brief stint on Days of Our Lives."[7]
