Surovy's next film that year was The Act (with David Huddleston). 

A pair of telefilms kept Surovy busy in 1985. First was Half Nelson (with Fred Williamson) and Stark (with Michael Champion and Denise Crosby). The latter followed up by an immediate sequel, Stark: Mirror Image in 1986 (featuring Kirstie Alley, Jefrey Alan Chandler, and Michelle Phillips). Television movies, in fact, were Surovy's only film work for the remainder of the '80s. In 1988, it was first Steal the Sky (joining Ben Cross, Ronald Guttman, Andreas Katsulas, and Mark Rolston) and second that year, Laura Lansing Slept Here (with Karen Austin), with the decade concluding putting Surovy in Wolf (1989, with J.C.
