He had a ton of credits. He's on the right in this 1953ish Ramar of
the Jungle still:

And here he is being interrogated by Orson Welles and Charlton Heston
in "Touch of Evil":

It didn't wrap in the newsfeed your provider sent upstream, if that's
what you wanted to know. (Some newsreaders may still wrap links, but
there isn't anything you can do about that.)

Maybe there was. I found out after the last disaster that my
newsreader inserts a LF/CR character that my newsreader, itself, copes
with perfectly well and is transparent to me. What I did was to turn
off automatic wrap in the preferences and then manually wrap the
paragraphs I wanted wrapped, leaving the link alone. PITA, but it
worked.
Thanks for the feedback. Now I know what to do.

I wasn't in any of his classes when I attended what was then Santa
Monica City College (SMCC) back in the early-60's, but some friends
were and I was with them when he joined us for lunch or impromptu
conversations on occasion. He was very easy to talk with and his smile
would light up the room.
He was very recognisable as he strode around campus. I don't know his
heritage, but he looked very much like he might have come from North
or South American Indian stock. He was always impeccably dressed.
I remember that he was very highly respected by the people in his
popular classes and that it was his efforts that were considered to be
responsible for the excellent reputation of the college's theater arts
department.
I also remember him from one of my all-time favourite early television
shows, "Ramar of the Jungle" and thank Brad for providing the photo
link.
Requiescat in pace

The same funeral home that handled my maternal grandmother's funeral
and where Ronald Reagan's body was taken after his death in Bel Air. I
wonder if Victor will be buried or interred a few blocks away in
Woodlawn Cemetery near Santa Monica College? It's where my grandmother
is buried.
BTW - One of Gates, Kingsley & Gates directors (unless he's retired),
Chuck Gates, used to own a beautiful little Morris "woody" Estate
Wagon back in the 60's and was one of the few cars from those early
surfing days that I would still like to own.
