Hmmm, always thought of Ms. Eden as more of a straight shooter, no back-action for her.

Considering her age, not too shabby.
How many women over 80 would even attempt that?

He also starred as Qarlo, with Lloyd Nolan in the episode "Soldier" in The Outer Limits (the original series) - written by Harlan Ellison. Click the image below for more on that:

I hadn’t seen that when I posted - always a favorite episode of mine. I also happen to think that episode is Lloyd Nolan at his finest; for a rather non-descript character actor, he really was great.

the former Mr. Barbara Eden to those of you in Rio Linda.

I assumed he was Mr. Barbara Eden (or the former Mr. Barbara Eden) to pretty much everybody who knew who he was. Everybody except a few fanatics still roaming around Comic Con.

Ansara was one of those actors like Sam Elliott, that no matter how made up you recognize instantly by their voice.

I’d pay to hear him read the dang phone book.

Batman TAS had some really good writing and voice acting overall. I forgot about him as Freeze.

He was the scientist the nuclear submarine ‘Seaview’ found floating on the ice in the movie ‘Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea’.

Barbara Eden was in the same movie...

Just saw him portraying an Indian in one of the two original ‘Lone Ranger’ films with Clayton Moore a few weeks back...recognized him immediately.

Still good looking for an 82 year old woman.
