He drank bourbon and soda, ate Tournedos Rossini, finished with plain coffee not expresso and spoke forcefully of the commitment to the script that the film's star and director, Tom Laughlin, and his co-star (and wife) De-lores Taylor poured Into the film. "We live in times when people demand reality in films," Howat said. "It's unlike any other film I've made.

A cut of life." He spoke of the kind of movies that used to be popular, 'it was nice to escape Into a theater and look up there at Loretta Young and know it was all a big fake." No more, he indicated. "Now, people want to face up to things. They demand reality and truth in films." Briefly, the film deals with a half-Indian, ex-Ore Beret (Laughlin) who inserts himself Into the racial and community strife that has grown up between a Freedom school on an Indian reservation and the power structure of a small, somewhat bigoted community nearby. Delores Taylor runs the school. Howat plays the sheriff who was elected by the town but Is friendly to the people and ideals of the school.

He tries to mediate the situation before a number of murders, rapes and assorted violent incidents occur. THE FILM was made in a way new to Howat, too. Much of it was lm- 2nd Adult Hit ZZ A lUUlU pret a scene, frequently shooting it two or three different ways. "He would catch me running lines," Howat said, "and He'd make me stop. He didn't want anything set." "We all found new layers that were not In the New dimensions.

Things we would never have found if the film had been shot in the conventional manner." Before "Billy Jack" How-at's most recent role was in "Airport." He described director George Seaton's manner of working as similar to Laughlln's. "Seaton revises as he goes. He responds to actors. He's not in love with the words." After 25 years as an actor, Howat has made over 60 feature films, toured in stock, played on Broadway was never in 'anything that ran longer than a played Joe Friday's boss in the TV "Dragnet" series, played parts in other TV shows read a part and you like it.
