Malachi Throne has passed away at the age of 84. May he rest in peace. Star Trek fans will remember him as Commodore Mendez in the TOS episode The Menagerie, as well as the leader of the Talosians in The Cage, and was Senator Pardek in the Star Trek: TNG two-parter Unification. He played False Face in the Adam West Batman series—I recently managed to catch an episode with him, courtesy of ME-TV. He was the narrator for the original 1977 trailer for Star Wars. A quick check of IMDB, tells me he was also the narrator of the cartoon Visionaries: Knights of the Magic Light.

Sean Pultz Commentaries: Ghostbusters (1984) Commentary.

We’re up to Dumpster #11 for Nellie’s house. One of the workers has just been hauling everything daily, even as the others are rotated in and out in shifts...as of today, between pulling things out, he’s just staggering through the rain, looking done in. Which isn’t a surprise, since it’s looking like she had more stuff in there than could possibly fit, and the workers are still not done.
