Hoyt Axton – who wrote and recorded “Never Been to Spain” (released in 1971) portrayed Randall Peltzer on Gremlins in 1984.  He was in fact the character who bought Gizmo for his son thusly unfolding a chaotic chain of events.  Axton was born in 1938.  He passed away on October 26, 1999 at the age of 61.
