De Toth was the director of HOUSE OF WAX, RIDING SHOTGUN, and CRIME WAVE. From the interview book "De Toth on De Toth" discussing HOUSE OF WAX and Charlie:
Interviewer: Was this Charles Bronson's first screen role?
De Toth: No. As Charles Buchinsky he had worked with me before. He was very talented, but too tense. It was a pleasure to watch him grow up.
Interviewer: He has a memorable face, and it would be better if he did not have to speak. There is nothing wrong with his voice, but somehow you feel that he has more of a quiet presence.
De Toth: He has a great presence, but he puts all the weight into his muscle-bound looks. That's why he didn't reach the peak that he was destined to reach. He is a big star in the particular crap that he does, which turns into gold because he is good at it. But I thought he had a much broader margin. He was more than what he was doing. No question!
