Beyond a doubt, you were one of my all-time, favorite character actors: menacing, creepy and as cool as a cucumber whenever a scene called for such.
Your television outings made your face known to many, with two stand-out guest spots on "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century" no less, and a slew of visitations that covered "Star Trek: The Next Generation"; Beauty and the Beast", "V"; "Holmes and Yoyo"; "Charlie's Angels"; "The A-Team"; "The Rookies"; and "Columbo".
On the big screen, your face was arguably even better known, featured in "Blue Thunder"; "Return to Witch Mountain"; "Mortuary Academy"; "Nightmares"; "Ravagers"; "Wacko"; "The Fifth Floor"; "World Gone Wild"; "...tick...tick...tick"; "Victory at Entebbe"; "The Teacher"; "Slow Burn"; "Naked Gun 2 1/2"; "Vanishing Point '71"; "In the Heat of the Night"; "Sam Whiskey"; "Culpepper Cattle Co"; "Hearts of the West"; "High Plains Drifter"; "Unforgiven": and "Burnt Offerings" where you played that pale, smiling chauffeur (the cold personification of death warmed over, for sure).
Your abilities exceeded your fame, and Lord knows, you deserved more acknowledgment than you received. However, to those who had the pleasure of engaging your stealthy presence, you'll always be one of the best.
