I first heard of him as a guest villain/monster in Kolchak the Night Stalker. (see avatar). he played a native American shaman/spirit warrior, and a sewer monster (Peremalfait).
great scene--Kolchak is in the sewers looking for him and he rises up out of the muck ('Oooohhhh!) and Kolchak snaps a pic and tries to escape through a manhole but the Metro Garbage truck is parked on it and he's trapped and here comes the sewer monster ('Oooohhhh'). THAT'S entertainment!

Ah! As soon as I read that the mental image came to mind from that episode and it clicked, that was him! :D Thanks for that bit of info. Now I'm not sure if my earlier memory of him was from Kolchak or Wild, Wild West.
