He was married to Coral Estelle Comstock. He died on 5 July 2015 in Montecito, California, USA.- An actor remembered as much for the legacy of his Christian ministry work in the entertainment industry as for his appearances in theater, television, and films, David Schall actually started out with a career in politics. He was born, raised, and educated in Pennsylvania, serving as president of his senior class at Indiana University of Pennsylvania where he studied political science and psychology. He was the Indiana County campaign manger for Milton J. Shapp in the successful campaign for governor of Pennsylvania in 1970. David served in Shapp's administration in a number of capacities such as executive assistant, and in 1974 he was Public Relations Director for the governor's re-election campaign. Ironically, he was later turned down for the part of a campaign manager in a stage revival of "The Best Man" despite his considerable "hands on" experience.
In 1976 David moved to New York City to pursue a childhood dream of an acting career. After training at various acting studios, he was cast in numerous Off-Broadway and dinner theater productions as well as daytime TV dramas, commercials and industrial films. He maintained high moral standards, and once turned down a plum stage role that required nudity. Acting upon his beliefs, he began the "Actors Fellowship" in Manhattan in February, 1981 and within three years this group grew to include hundreds of actors, singers, and dancers who attended a variety of Christian churches. Finding himself involved in ministry, David started formal seminary training, attending classes at New York's General Seminary, New York Theological Seminary and the Trinity Episcopal School for Ministry in Ambridge, Pennsylvania. He pursued three years of part-time studies before deciding to relocate to Los Angeles in January, 1986 where he resided in the Hollywood Hills. He joined the Hollywood First Presbyterian Church and served as the Executive Director of the Department of Entertainment Ministries. He co-founded "Actors Co-op" in 1987, a company of professional Christian actors headquartered at that church. This organization still performs a full season of major theater productions each year. He founded "Inter-Mission" later that same year, and it expanded to other cities a decade later. Its thousands of Christian professionals in the entertainment industry are pledged to maintain high moral standards within popular culture. David also founded "Act One: Writing for Hollywood" for aiding Christian screenwriters and facilitated the formation of the "Hollywood Prayer Network" to pray for Christians in entertainment.
David was good at both comic and tragic roles shown respectively by the harried radio station manager in "The 1940s Radio Hour" and Jo Keller in "All My Sons." His television credits include L.A. Law (1986), Murder, She Wrote (1984). Just a few days after his death he fittingly appeared as a pastor presiding at a funeral in an episode of ER (1994) on May 1st, 2003.
His death apparently occurred about 1-1/2 hours before the opening night curtain of Chekhov's "Uncle Vanya" (performed by "The Actors Co-op") in which he was due to play the title role. Members of his company found him in his locked car, a victim of a heart attack. David had appeared in just two preview performances. The show's opening night was canceled as there was no understudy for his role and members of the company simply shared stories of Schall on that night. - Joey Carr was born on 9 July 1912 in Old Ford, London, England, UK. He was an actor, known for It Always Rains on Sunday (1947), Passport to Pimlico (1949) and Hue and Cry (1947). He died in 1990 in Old Ford, London, England, UK.

Robert E. Swink, a top-notch editor favored by directors no less scrupulous than William Wyler and Franklin J. Schaffner, first moved to Hollywood with his family in 1927, and made the place his home for the rest of his life. Following graduation from North Hollywood High in 1936, Swink turned down a football scholarship in favor of an apprenticeship in film editing at RKO, where he remained for years, barring a World War II hitch in the US Army Special Services, editing training films. Beginning in 1944, he was promoted to cutting feature films. In 1952 Swink moved over to Paramount, where he started out with William Wyler's Carrie (1952), and shortly thereafter received his first Academy Award nomination for Wyler's Roman Holiday (1953). In the three decades of steady work to follow, he would edit pictures as various as The Diary of Anne Frank (1959), The Best Man (1964), Papillon (1973) and Three the Hard Way (1974), and receive two further Oscar nominations, for Funny Girl (1968) and The Boys from Brazil (1978). As well, he served as second unit director on a handful of films, though unlike his contemporary Robert Wise he did not make the jump to director. He might have made an excellent one, judging from the crackerjack pacing and faultless dramatic instinct evident behind all the films he touched, and the respect he garnered from the frequently demanding directors who repeatedly hired him. Meaning to retire after completing Franklin Schaffner's Sphinx (1981) in 1981, Swink was coaxed out of retirement to supervise the editing of the finally unreleased feature "And They're Off." He returned to work one final time: as the favorite editor of director Schaffner (they had had five prior collaborations), he was the logical choice to assemble the footage for Welcome Home (1989), as Schaffner had died before the post-production phase.- Additional Crew

In 1917, he began appearing in silent films in Sweden, then returned to Norway in 1927, where he worked in many films, including several after the advent of sound. He made his last film in 1938, at the age of 71. His son Per Aabel was also a popular comic actor in Norwegian films.

Dr. Paul Gebhard joined Alfred Kinsey's research team at Indiana University in 1946. He was a co-author of the 1953 bestselling research book, Sexual Behavior in the Human Female, which revealed sexual experiences of women in mid-century America. A Harvard-trained anthropologist, he conducted interviews and also devised the classification scheme for the Institute's extensive collection of photographs.
Following the death of Alfred Kinsey in 1956, Paul served as the second director of the Institute and continued in this position until 1982. Under his leadership, the institute staff continued to conduct interviews and analyze data. Notable books include Pregnancy, Birth and Abortion in 1958 and Sex Offenders: An Analysis of Types in 1965.
During his tenure, the Kinsey Institute researchers continued ground-breaking research on homosexuality, sexual deviance, erotic art around the world, and the social structure of sexuality, among other topics.
In 1979, Gebhard and Alan Johnson published The Kinsey Data: Marginal tabulations of the 1938-1963 interviews conducted by The Institute for Sex Research. The primary purpose was to encourage secondary analysis and facilitate new approaches and ideas. The original Kinsey data continues to be analyzed and compared with new approaches by contemporary researchers.- Visual Effects
