Barry Atwater's Last TV Appearance

[Quizcoot]

I love the story of Barry when he was filming the Night Stalker in Vegas in '71. On a bet, he went into one of the big casinos in full Janos Skorzeny vampire makeup. Per the bet, no one noticed him for about 45 minutes, until some girl saw him & started freaking out! A fine actor who is sorely missed. RIP, buddy.

great clip, thanks

He doesn't look that bad in this scene, for nearly 60 years old. Good character actor.

Just like Rondo Hatton, Barry Atwater died very young from years of health issues.

Christ, he was even scary in the daylight.

I have a serious bone to pick with todays television producers..You hardly find many actors/actresses over 45 yrs of age. Its all about a youth market. Many of the actors todays have bearly cut they're teeth. Over 30-65 should not be a curse. If youth was a requirement for true talent. Explain why t.v. pilots are being cancelled and reality t.v. is taking over?..Hmmm

Hey, it's Surak in LA!

I just watched this episode of RF and wondered who that actor is/was. How ironic that this was his last appearance on TV.

Herry thanks a lot for the good bio I just read. His character "Janos" is easily in my top 3 for most unforgettable ever. Simply awesome portrayal Barry created.

[brads62]

Nice video and thanks for posting. Kinda like having a little visit with the man himself. Going by the dates he had just under a year to live approximately. Nice look back but sad he was gone too soon.

Judging from his appearance in this clip, Atwater seems to have suffered a stroke which left his face partially paralyzed.

[queengriddle]

Yeah - I noticed his left arm is immobile right through this scene too. ...But aren't his eyes as expressive as ever?

[jeffchandler1962]

thank you for posting this clip, it is a wonderful tribute to a great actor. I love watching Barry Atwater in all the wonderful things he did

[eurastus]

I will aways remember Barry as Janos Skorzeny, the scary vampire of Kolchak: the night stalker pilot episode. He was simply perfect in the role.

How interesting. I always wondered who this fellow was.
