To generations of fans, you were iconic twice over, as the Addams Family's Cousin Itt and Buck Rogers in the 25th Century's Twiki.
But there's even more to admire, as your vast credits convey: Don't Be Afraid of the Dark '73; Batman Returns; Planet of the Apes '68; Bonanza; Star Trek ("the Cage"/"The Menagerie"); Demon Seed, H.R. Pufnstuf; Lidsville; Battlestar Galactica; Return of the Jedi; Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom; E.T., the Extra-Terrestrial; Characterz; the Black Bird; the Hindenburg; Point Blank '67; the Golden Child; Kentucky Fried Movie; Howard the Duck; The Munsters (as Butch Patrick's stand-in) and She Freak, where you met your sweetheart, Clare Brennen.
You were known and appreciated for good cause and great affection, Mr. Silla. Thanks for the many gratifying memories you gave us and a perennial legacy that will continue to overflow with influential luster and cultural wealth.
