He had a prominent role in American Graffiti. It's a pretty good flick with a great soundtrak.


One of my all-time favorite movies.

In 1973 he appeared in director George

Lucas' second feature film, American Graffiti, as himself. His broadcasts tie the film together, and Richard Dreyfuss's character catches a glimpse of the mysterious Wolfman in a pivotal scene. In gratitude for Wolfman Jack's participation, Lucas gave him a fraction of a "point"—the division of the profits from a film—and the extreme financial success of American Graffiti provided him with a regular income for life.

In reference to WJ's tie in to American Graffiti, I thought this was a cool tidbit

I had to make my own personalized show stuff when I was FULL-TIME, much less it just being the first day on the air. Cheap bastards these days
