Donald Pleasence
Born: October 5, 1919 in Worksop, Nottinghamshire, England
Died: February 2, 1995 (75)
Donald Pleasence was a very distinguished actor in England,
and began gracing the London stage in 1939. He served in the Royal Air Force
(RAF) and was shot town and held in a POW camp. He became the most popular actor
on British TV with his memorable face and voice. He specialized in strange and
menacing characters. For those of you that are MST3K fans (if you don't know
what that is, I'm sorry. Maybe you should ask) he was privileged enough to have
one of his movies on that show. He became famous to the younger generations
(like mine, X and Millennial) with the role of Dr. Samuel Loomis in the Halloween
Series (excluding three as I always do)
