Lycaeon Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Rest In Peace William Hootkins (alias Red Six, alias Porkins, alias Munson, alias Eckhardt) Died of pancreatic cancer - he was 58. Lots of roles: Porkins (Star Wars) Munson (Flash Gordon) Major Eaton (Raiders of the Lost Ark) Harry Howler (Superman IV) Eckhardt (Batman) ...and many many more.

Foil Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 I'm not really familiar with the actor and couldn't place him in Star Wars until I checked IMDB Star Wars (1977) .... Red Six (Porkins) He also appeared in two pink panther movies as the Taxi Driver. Will have to keep an eye out for those. Here's a quick link to the man's career for convenience: IMDB link Truly a working man actor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
