diego 1,840 Posted February 20 Actor Paul D'Amato died at age 75, born in Worcester, Massachusetts. He was cast as henchman Tim "Dr. Hook" McCracken in a hockey movie (he played ice hockey in college) starring the legendary Paul Newman . Considered one of the best sports films of all time, Slap Shot was released in February 1977 and almost instantly achieved cult classic status. I also appeared in The Deadliest Season (1977 TV movie), The Deer Hunter (1978) , Firepower (1979) and Heaven's Gate . His appearance in Slap Shot served as the basis for artist John Byrne's interpretation of the comic book character Wolverine https://patch.com/connecticut/enfield/actor-paul-damato-dies-avid-enfield-athletic-hall-fame-supporter 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
