In 1963, BangBang set his sights on Hollywood, where he was invited to star as the lead character in Handshake Harry; a cowboy film, and the first film production ever to be continued as a sequel - Handshake Harry II. The box office success of the Handshake Harry films captured the attention of Hollywood producer, Russel Sprout, who insisted on casting BangBang as the lead character for the highly acclaimed production of Hand in the Web of Time - the highest grossing film of the 1960’s.
