Sympathetic actor, I liked watching him.


Fun fact: being especially famous for his voice (=Darth Vader), German studios gave him a very good German dubbing voice as well that matched his physical appearance and roles very well. Dubbing is standard in Germany, and probably nobody does it as well as the German studios (usually). Original sound and subtitles in foreign movies, common in many other countries, are very rarely used in Germany.

One of his strongest performances, IMO, was in a tawdry made-for-TV movie.



Sorry about the quality, but you post what you can get.

His scene where he describes what was going on when they were first abducted (under hypnosis) is a true tour-de-force. I posted the whole movie so you can watch three Broadway legends at the top of their game.
