JANOS PROHASKA

This Hungarian immigrant was a major suit performer presence in sixties television and film. The talented artist created a variety of creatures for high profile shows like STAR TREK and THE OUTER LIMITS. His ape-like Mugato was a memorable foe for Captain Kirk and he also created and played the sympathetic silicon alien, the Horta. Simian appearances ranged from Darwin the monkey in "The Sixth Finger" to the caged gorilla who kills one of the intelligent chimps in ESCAPE FROM THE PLANET OF THE APES.
Janos often worked with his son, Bobby and the pair were killed in a tragic plane crash in 1974.
