Earl is the gangly character who rocked preview audience: with his comedies as the younger brother in "The Rainmaker." Hal Wallis signed him for a picture a year, the latest being Hot Spell, Now he's playing one of the lead ing roles in "Don't Go Near the Water." Earl was born In Tennasas Swamp, La., youngest of 10 chil dren. His farmer father died six months before Earl was born. The brothers and sisters were put in an omhanaee. but Earl was adopted at one week by a travel ing oil worker and his wife. "Ever since I was 6 years old, I always told people I wanted to be an actor, he said. When J was just 15, I set out for Holly wood, determined to break into pictures. I hitchhiked all the way from Louisiana, and I can remcm bcr fitting my shoes into the foot prints at Grauman's Chinese and walking down Hollywood Boule vard. I wore dark glasses, and I hoped people would think I was an actor." He discovered the law wouldn't allow him to work at his age, so he thumbed his way back home. Later he joined the Navy. "My first real acting came with a little theater group at the Nor folk Navy base," he related. Determined to assault Holly wood again, he came here to study at the University of Southern Cal ifornia and Pasadena Playhouse. When his GI Bill ran out, he took factory jobs around town, mean while trying everything he could to get acting work. "I used to tell the guard at Par amount that I had an appointment with the barber on the lot," Earl recalled. "That got me in every time." He wandered around the sets and made contacts, finally con vinced a casting man to put him into "The Girls of Pleasure Is land." It was only a bit, but his pixy face drew attention. Four years and many pictures later, he drew "The Rainmaker," thanks to an impressive bit in "Giant." Now he's on his way.
