Another of those actors who has been around forever and that you just know you’ve seen. Or maybe not, since he was also in robot or gorilla costumes.

wow, it’s amazing how many iconic characters from my childhood he portrayed – from Cousin Itt to Twiki to ewoks. what a life he had. RIP, good sir, and thank you!

There was one episode of Buck Rogers in which he played Twiki, as usual . . . but they used his own voice! No explanation or call-out . . . just this mild mannered voice coming out of the little robot, instead of Mel Blanc’s intonations.

I can’t recall a Little Person character in that film; was he a stunt double for one of the kids?
