Charles Cypher also starred in director John
Carpenter’s third film, the low budget action thriller,
Assault on Precinct 13. Carpenter reportedly liked
Charles’ style in his past movie and thought he had
what it took to play Leigh Brackett, former Sheriff of
Haddonfield Illinois. In the twenty years since
Halloween first told the story of Michael Myers,
Charles has gone on to star in several Carpenter
Films, including: the made-for-television movie Elvis,
Halloween II, and Escape from New York. In addition,
fans may have seen Cypher in Major League, or on
television as Nick Freno: Licensed Teacher.
