The Rocky Horror Picture Show - filmed 30 years ago - starred Barry Bostwick as the nerdy "Brad Majors." Bostwick was 29.

30 years later Bostwick (now 59), played a serial killer in an episode of the CBS TV show Cold Case. The detectives trace his character's history to 1977, when he may have murdered a Philadelphia doorman...

"From the day he was born, he was trouble...."
