LOL.

William Talman must have had quite a good sense of humor. He told once of being stopped at a red light in his convertible and a fellow in the next car got out and came over, asking him if he was the Hitchhiker. (He played the psychotic, titular character in the film of the same name.) When he said Yes, the weirdo slapped him across the face, got back in his car, and drove off. William commented that he had never won an Academy Award, but that was probably the closest he would come to it.

I haven't seen that film, but I'm sure he was amazing and frightening and disturbing in it. Just as Simon Oakland always was with his creepy villains. And both of them played wonderful good guys too.

Simon also must have had an amusing sense of humor. When he was asked to be on The Outer Limits, he said he would, but only if he could play the monster. And when they were filming, it took him fifteen takes to get one of the Empyrian's melodramatic lines said without chuckling.
