Was just watching one of the couple of episodes of "Kraft Suspense Theatre" he was featured in during the early 1960s.

I heard a news report the other day that he was taken to the hospital with severe chest pains, so it’s not surprising.

He also played a very bad guy murderer, who was a brilliant surgeon and scientist, but vain, on Columbo.

I was just watching an episode of Fringe he was on when I heard that he had gone to the hospital recently. Sad news.

I wonder how Shatner will try to outdo him? Maybe a blaze of gunfire at Priceline over the weekend.

Well, at least Obola is not a vampire—his reflection is in the mirror.
