@slick jonesHere is McGurrin.

But also, from 1982.  

[slick jones]

And I just posted about him on fb to you!

[JAS0N47]

Those are thanks to some Academy Player Directories I picked up through the years, which are sort of a "yearbook" for casting directors at the time, with all of the actor's headshots/agent info.

I just checked the one edition (1979) I have during McGurrin's acting time frame, but he is not in that, so can't help with his photo!

 

Good find! I happened to be checking the old Academy Player Directories just as you were posting this.
