Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Asked if fans can expect the new FORBIDDEN album in 2025, Craig said in part (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "There's a plan. It's been pushed back a few months, but everything's laying out the way I was hoping it would. We're writing [the material], and I've got the beginnings for a lot of [songs]. And when I say beginnings, I mean they're structured and we just need to work out all the parts for everybody else. Some are more put together than others, but that's the way FORBIDDEN has always been. And I just wanna jell for the next six months and then get in the studio and nail it. And we're gonna release a couple of songs at the beginning of the year on our own."
