Super '70s and '80s: "The Plastic Man Comedy Show"—introduction
Introduction to series "Super '70s and '80s."
Back Issue #3 (4/04) included a photo of the first (and still only) live-action Plastic Man, who hosted the syndicated version of the Plastic Man cartoon of the early 1980s.
The caption called him an "unidentified actor," firing me up to find him.
He was actually never a mystery. His name is Mark Taylor and he bravely shared one of the most touching and inspiring stories to come out of this entire series. Appropriately, Mark demonstrates how much some people need to stretch to save a life—including their own.

I got permission to post all images; if you want to repost, please do the same and ask me first.
Interviewed (2 parts):
Steve Whiting, producer/director
Mark Taylor (Plastic Man—live action)
