Robert Quarry

Dari Wikipedia, ensiklopedia gratis Robert Walter Quarry (3 November 1925 – 20 Februari 2009) adalah seorang aktor Amerika, yang dikenal karena beberapa peran film horor yang menonjol. Quarry lahir di Santa Rosa, California, putra dari Mable dan Paul Quarry, seorang dokter. Film-filmnya termasuk Count Yorga, Vampire (1970), sekuelnya The Return of Count Yorga (1971), dan Dr. Phibes Rises Again (1972), di mana ia berperan sebagai alkemis Dr. Biederbeck yang diadu melawan Phibes karya Vincent Price dalam perlombaan untuk menemukan ramuan mitos kehidupan kekal. Meskipun Price diketahui tidak mempedulikan lawan mainnya - suatu kali, ketika Quarry sedang bernyanyi di ruang ganti selama pembuatan Dr Phibes Rises Again, dia berkata kepada Price, "Kamu tidak tahu aku bisa menyanyi, kan?" dan Price menjawab: "Saya tahu Anda tidak bisa bertindak." - keduanya kemudian juga dipasangkan di Madhouse (1974). American International Pictures memiliki rencana agar Quarry menggantikan Price, tetapi penurunan kekayaan perusahaan, dan film horor gaya lama yang ketinggalan jaman, membuat hal itu tidak pernah terjadi. Quarry memang membuat penampilan film horor lebih lanjut, sebagai guru vampir hippy Khorda di The Deathmaster tahun 1973 dan sebagai gangster di film zombie tahun 1974 Sugar Hill. Film Count Yorga ketiga sering dikabarkan sedang dibuat, tetapi tidak pernah terwujud. Karier Quarry semakin terpuruk karena kecelakaan lalu lintas yang mengakibatkan cedera wajah yang serius (di mana ia ditabrak oleh seorang pengemudi mabuk), namun ia membuat beberapa penampilan tamu yang berkesan di acara TV, terutama episode The Rockford Files, "Requiem For a Funny Box", sebagai Lee Russo. Dia juga berperan sebagai penembak cacat Komandan Corliss di Buck Rogers dalam episode abad ke-25 "Return of the Fighting 69th". Pada 1980-an dan 1990-an, ia kembali ke dunia film, menjadi favorit sutradara Fred Olen Ray. Quarry meninggal di Motion Picture & Television Country House and Hospital di Woodland Hills, California pada usia 83 tahun.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Robert Walter Quarry (3 November 1925 – 20 February 2009) was an American actor, known for several prominent horror film roles. Quarry was born in Santa Rosa, California, the son of Mable and Paul Quarry, a doctor. His films include Count Yorga, Vampire (1970), its sequel The Return of Count Yorga (1971), and Dr. Phibes Rises Again (1972), in which he played alchemist Dr. Biederbeck pitted against Vincent Price's Phibes in a race to find the mythical elixir of eternal life. Although it is well-known that Price did not care for his co-star - once, when Quarry was singing in his dressing room during the making of Dr Phibes Rises Again, he said to Price, "You didn't know I could sing did you?" and Price replied: "Well I knew you couldn't act." - the two were later also paired in Madhouse (1974). American International Pictures had plans for Quarry to succeed Price, but the decline in the company's fortunes, and old style horror films falling out of fashion, meant that it never happened. Quarry did make further horror film appearances, as the hippy guru vampire Khorda in 1973's The Deathmaster and as a gangster in the 1974 zombie movie Sugar Hill. A third Count Yorga film was often rumored to be in the works, but never materialised. Quarry's career was further set back by a road accident that resulted in serious facial injuries (in which he was hit by a drunk driver), but he made several memorable guest appearances on TV shows, notably The Rockford Files episode, "Requiem For a Funny Box", as Lee Russo. He also played disfigured gunrunner Commander Corliss in the Buck Rogers in the 25th Century episode "Return of the Fighting 69th". In the 1980s and 1990s, he returned to film, becoming a favorite of director Fred Olen Ray. Quarry died at the Motion Picture & Television Country House and Hospital in Woodland Hills, California at the age of 83.
