Jay Robinson
Character actor -- via the L.A. Times. Very talented but frequently overlooked, Robinson could play villains and eccentrics as few others could. He is best remembered for his two film appearances as Emperor Caligula, in "The Robe" and "Demetrius and the Gladiators"; he appeared memorably on the original "Star Trek," as well as the bad guy in "Three the Hard Way," and most memorably for some, the eponymous villain of "Dr. Shrinker," a Saturday morning kids' show.
