GOODBYE, STEVE MARLO...


Trekkies know you best from one of the classic series' best, as Zabo from "A Piece of the Action", but you covered the bases on a number of exciting platforms, adapting all styles with stunning, rough-edged grace.


For further television endeavors, you visited "Future Cop"; "Dragnet"; "The F.B.I."; "Columbo"; "Ironside"; "Mannix"; "Quincy"; "Ben Casey"; "The Rifleman"; "Branded"; "Bonanza"; "Gunsmoke"; "Hondo"; "Death Valley Days"; "The Rebel"; "Johnny Ringo"; "Wanted: Dead or Alive"; "The Lucy Show"; "Swiss Family Robinson"; "The Streets of San Francisco"; "Highway Patrol"; "Emergency!"; "Combat!"; "Mission: Impossible"; "Land of the Giants"; and "Kolchak: the Night Stalker". 


For larger stretches, you fueled the tension in "Terror in the Wax Museum" (as the Quasimodo inspired Karkoff/Karkov); "The Buccaneer"; "The Swarm"; "The Hanged Man"; "Hondo and the Apaches"; "Stakeout on Dope Street"; "Mayday at 40,000 Feet!"; "Sky Heist"; "The Towering Inferno"; "When Time Ran Out"; "The Mask of Alexander Cross"; "Adventures of the Queen"; "Voyage of the Yes"; "They Only Come Out at Night"; "The Hostage Heart"; "The Young Captives"; "Hanging by a Thread"; and "The Slender Thread".


You choose a behind-the-scenes life in later years, but your contributions continued to sound loud and clear. No one who's seen you will likely forget you. When it's come to projecting just the right scowl, you've always been--and always will be--perfection personified.
