Malachi Throne, Actor on TV, Dies at 84

[joeybee12]

Malachi Throne, a character actor best known for playing Robert Wagner’s boss on the ABC spy series “It Takes a Thief” and a villain on “Batman,” died on March 13 at his home in Los Angeles. He was 84.

The cause was complications from lung cancer, his wife, Marjorie, said.

Mr. Throne was a brawny, deep-voiced mainstay on television for nearly 50 years. He appeared on everything from “The Untouchables” in the early 1960s to “The West Wing” in 2002, and was one of the few actors seen on both Gene Roddenberry’s original “Star Trek” and “Star Trek: The Next Generation.”

10. Wow...

You make me want to watch the whole series again. OH if I only had that much free time....

Greatly underappreciated show. I'm sure I recognized Mr. Throne at the time, but it's totally forgotten.

He did have a fine career. RIP, Mr. Throne. Thanks for the great work.

9. I believe he also did some voice overs. Lancelot Link Secret Chimp

for one. The alien character he played in the original pilot of Star Trek scared the Hell out of me. I was only about 9 when the series came out. They combined part of the pilot with another 2-part episode in the first season. "The Menagerie"

11. Damn, I looked through his IMDB page

If there was a cool show on in the 1960s and 1970s, he was on it at some point.
