RIP Frank Brana

MADRID–Spanish character actor Francisco “Frank” Brana, who appeared in more than 170 films, mostly action movies and Westerns (including several of Sergio Leone’s “spaghetti” Westerns), died here Feb. 13 of lung failure. He was 77. MSTies will remember him as Burt, the gray-haired egg collector in “Los nuevos extraterrestres,” seen in episode 303- POD PEOPLE.

There’s a story about him here, in Spanish. Google will translate … sort of.

Weekend Discussion Thread: Favorite Costume Worn by a Bot

Alert regular Bob suggests:

Favorite costume worn by one of the robot pals in an episode. My favorite costume on a robot is the monkey mask Tom Servo is wearing during the Sandy Frank song. It makes me laugh every time I see it, every single time!

Oh, I have to pick Tom Servo’s candy striper outfit. Grrrr!

What’s yours?
