Reggie Nalder

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Reggie Nalder (September 4, 1907November 19, 1991) was a prolific film and television character actor from the late 1940s to the early 1990s. His distinctive features–partially the result of disfiguring burns–together with a haunting style and demeanor led to his being called "The Face That Launched a Thousand Trips."

Born Alfred Reginald Natzick in Vienna, Austria, Nalder is perhaps best remembered for his roles as an assassin in Alfred Hitchcock's 1956 remake of The Man Who Knew Too Much, the vampire Barlow in the 1976 filmed version of Stephen King's Salem's Lot, and the Andorian ambassador Shras in the Star Trek episode "Journey to Babel." Nalder also appeared (at the request of star Frank Sinatra) in a brief, uncredited role as a communist spymaster in John Frankenheimer's 1962 film The Manchurian Candidate.

Nalder's television work also included episodes of the series 77 Sunset Strip, Surfside Six, Boris Karloff's Thriller, McCloud and I Spy.

His other films include:

Nalder was also sometimes credited as "Detlef von Berg" (as in two pornographic pictures made shortly before his death). He died of bone cancer in Santa Monica, California.
