R.C. Bates, RIP

GARDEN CITY, Mich. — Actor, comedian and poet R.C. Bates died Dec. 8 at his home here. Though some may recognize him from his memorable presence in the band Soundgarden’s “Black Hole Sun” video (featuring that OTHER Chris Cornell), MSTies are sure to remember him as crusty caretaker Sam the Keeper in the movie in episode 904- WEREWOLF. He was 77.

Weird things a-doin’ … round here.

Here’s a fun visit with him.

Michael Cole, RIP

TARZANA, Calif. — Michael Cole, perhaps best known as Pete Cochran, one of the three young undercover cops that made up “The Mod Squad” on the 1968-73 ABC series, died Dec. 10 at Providence Cedars-Sinai Tarzana Medical Center. He was 84.

MSTies will remember his role as Mark in the movie in episode 1312- THE BUBBLE.

The Hollywood Reporter has the story.

Thanks to Tim for the heads up.
