RIP, Mr. Bakalyan. A friend & I enjoyed seeing him on DVD about a week ago in Disney's "The Strongest Man in the World" as A.J. Arno's henchman, Cookie. He was also very funny as one of the many "Witch Mountain" actors who appeared in "The Blair Witch Mountain Project" on YouTube:

He appears here at about 6:05 and reminds me a bit of Gary Crosby here.
