That's too bad. He was one of the most fun parts of Sidehackers, in my opinion, and a reason it remains one of my favorite MST3K episodes. Yeah, the character was a creep, but he played it in a fun, over-the-top kind of way. Although, I will admit, I have to be in the right mood for that episode.

Rest well, sir.

[PimPamPet]

Loved him in Sidehackers and Star Trek.

I still think his performance in Sidehackers was one of the best in any movie MST3K riffed. And he was a klingon in the Star Trek episode The Trouble With Tribbles. We will miss thee. R. I. P.

I also remember him from Happy Days. He was half of The Malachi Brothers, who were demolition drivers and tangled with Fonzie and Pinky Tuscadero.

He was an excellent character actor. Rest In Peace.

[Hellcat]

He was terrific in Sidehackers. I also saw him recently on an episode of All In The Family. He played an avant-garde artist who wanted to use Archie's chair in his latest piece. Very funny.

I also enjoyed him in Grave of the Vampire, Rocky 4, Halloween 4, and of course as George Liquor--American on Ren and Stimpy.

[Joker]

He actually directed a very disturbing and creepy film called Mansion of the Doomed (1976).
