I was sad to hear this. I knew him from his horror movie appearances.

It's a mistake on the article's part, but he did not appear in the Get Smart feature film. He appeared on an episode of the 1995 revival series.

I'm late on this one, but he made a very brief appearance in one of my favorite cult classics, Black Dynamite.

Very sorry to hear that...RIP
