5 Random Snapshots Of Donald Pleasence

“Yes, I co-starred in the movie 'Wedding In White' with Donald Pleasance when I was 19 actually, and I guess somehow she (Joan Micklin Silver) saw it. It was voted best film in the Canadian Film Festival I believe. Donald and I were disqualified because neither of us were Canadian. But it got very lovely reviews in the New York Times and in other publications and I guess her being an independent film gal she went and saw it.”

- Carol Kane speaking with Leo Adambiga

"Donald is an excellent actor. I always enjoy casting him against type, as the psychiatrist in Halloween and as the U.S. President in Escape From New York, rather than as a villain."

- John Carpenter

He parlayed his unique presence into some memorable TV roles as well. Recall the classic Columbo episode Any Old Port in a Storm?

As well as one of the strangest, and best, episodes of The Ray Bradbury Theater: Punishment Without Crime.

And my personal favorite, The Outer Limits, Man With the Power.
