He was also in the “so bad its good” episode of Star Trek called “The Way to Eden,” playing a really groovy space hippie.

It probably won’t get a lot of ‘play’ while fans mourn his passing but ...
Napier was infamously connected to the classic soft-porn entrepreneur Russ Meyers with starring / featured roles in “Harry, Cherry and Raquel”, “Beyond the Valley of the Dolls” and “Supervixens”. For a time, THAT was what he was most noted for. He seemed to spend a long time recovering his ‘credibility’ as a ‘legitimate actor’ after that.
His acting ‘style’ could most charitably be described as unselfconsciously wooden to limply slapstick with very little gradation in between. Sometimes you wondered if he was overindulging in self-parody.
I recall him as some kind of air-head ‘hippy’ in a Star Trek TOS episode with Skip Homeier as a Svengali professor leading his merry band ‘Back to Eden’. ( BTW: That episode was actually most notorious for the remarkable ‘new-age’ jam session featuring Spock and the hippies. Incredible stuff ... )

Oh, the look on his face after Stallone said that was just pure fear.
EXCELLENT actor. He will be missed.

*Sigh* These things always happen in 3’s don’t they. First Don Lapre. And if that wasn’t bad enough, now Steve Jobs and Charles Napier.

The originally voice (now imitated fairly well, by Bobby F. Ellerbee) of "The Sheriff," (2005-2006) on the eccentrically hilarious "Squidbillies," late night on the Cartoon Network's "AdultSwim" segment.
