Filmography
Film and television
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."[2] Caudell had the starring role in The Archer, a fantasy with swords and sorcerers.[3] Caudell's character, Toran of the Hawk Clan, has been framed for the murder of his father, Chief Brakus.[4]
Hal Erickson praised his performance in Goodbye, Franklin High.[5]
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."[6]
