He was not on the list.

Charles Willcox was born on March 31, 1933 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, USA. He was an actor, known for I Was a Teenage Werewolf (1957), Rockabilly Baby (1957) and Speed Crazy (1959). He died on June 11, 2018 in Solvang, California, USA.

He lived in Santa Ynez Valley, Ca and was also a professional Silversmith/Artist.

During the filming of "Creature from the Black Lagoon" the creature was supposed to be played by Ricou Browning. Browning experienced problems adjusting to the suit underwater. So a stuntman with underwater scuba experience (Chuck Willcox) was hastily hired to finish filming. Part of the deal was that Willcox could not take credit for the film.
