Sasquatch Mountain Cast & Crew
Posted by: Loren Coleman on September 14th, 2006
Another Cryptomundo Exclusive
The above is the cast and crew photograph from the shooting of Sasquatch Mountain. You can see in the middle of the photo the actor (Tiny Ron) who was in the Bigfoot suit. He had to wear an orange vest, as it was hunting season in Arizona. Having him get fired upon was something the movie crew had to prevent. Tiny Ron, an American born Ronald Taylor, is seven feet tall and played professional basketball in the 1970s in Vienna Austria. He is often remembered for his role of Maihar’du on “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.”

Starting his fieldwork and investigations in 1960, after traveling and trekking extensively in pursuit of cryptozoological mysteries, Coleman began writing to share his experiences in 1969. An honorary member of Ivan T. Sanderson’s Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained in the 1970s, Coleman has been bestowed with similar honorary memberships of the North Idaho College Cryptozoology Club in 1983, and in subsequent years, that of the British Columbia Scientific Cryptozoology Club, CryptoSafari International, and other international organizations. He was also a Life Member and Benefactor of the International Society of Cryptozoology (now-defunct).
Loren Coleman’s daily blog, as a member of the Cryptomundo Team, served as an ongoing avenue of communication for the ever-growing body of cryptozoo news from 2005 through 2013. He returned as an infrequent contributor beginning Halloween week of 2015.
Coleman is the founder in 2003, and current director of the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine.
Awesome, I always keep an eye out when in the forests here in Arizona.
hey loren thats a great photo of cast & crew of sasquatch mountain. it looks like there they had a wonderful time making sasquatch mountain.
I find it odd that someone in a monkey costume would worry about getting shot in an AZ forest.
Hunters in AZ aren’t used to seeing orange very much as it isn’t required.
Chris/Clauida – If that’s true about Arizona law, perhaps it has more to do with the fact that the “wearing of orange” is the universally understood means of telling hunters that this is NOT wildlife you should hunt. Most of the cast and crew were from California, after all. Are all hunters in Arizona from Arizona?
That is how bigfoot never gets shot during hunting season. He wears an orange vest when wandering the woods. He hasn’t made it this long by being a fool.
As it has been a while since ‘Deep Space Nine.’ I am assuming, Maihar’du was a Klingon. Now i just have to figure out which one.
‘Tiny’ Ron is certainly easy to pick out in that photo even without an orange vest
