Malachi Throne? (He's the chubbiest guy I can think of who played a Vulcan or Romulan.)

This actor never played a Star Trek role, and he's been dead for some time, so he's unlikely to do so in the future. Oddly enough, one outfit he wore for a role you've seen him in DID appear in a Star Trek episode once.
That's basically all his roles, yes. Batman fans may recognize King Tut. Odd Couple fans might recognize the 2 characters he played- the evil landlord Mr Lovelace, who treated plants like people and people like plants, and
Dr Clove, the orthodontist who gave up his practice to work in the occult- to do exorcisms and so on. Dr Clove was a hysterical character who showed up, was funny while being serious and moving the story along, and then left, never to return.
No, and it's not Gunther from "Royal Pains," either.
If this next one doesn't give it away, there won't be any that will. He's been in a number of famous movies, but the names of his characters aren't particularly memorable.

He was looking for it to use as a clue in a game round a few weeks after he was looking for it. Meanwhile, I hope he posts the next one soon.

Well ... yeah. I was about 15 when it came out. (Saw it a couple of years later, when I was in college.) Fonda DID win the Best Actress Oscar for the performance. George

John Shea... I've heard that name...... I'm picturing a bald, white guy.......
The bald, white guy that I know Gene Hackman played was "LEX LUTHOR."
(Michael Rosenbaum was probably from B vs S, the not-bald one.)

All did play Lex Luthor. John Shea was in Lois and Clark (not bald). Rosenbaum was in Smallville (bald).
Talbot was in an old movie; Howard was on the Superboy live series; Brown voiced Luthor in a number of cartoon series.

They called Orson Welles when they wanted a little gravitas. They called THIS GUY when they wanted none whatsoever.

PS: I imagine there was at least a LITTLE gravitas to his WH Taft performance...

If it's "Taimok", I'm going to be VERY surprised.

As will I. I have no idea who that is, so I'm pretty sure this actor hasn't played that character.

Taimok was an 80s actor and martial artist. He played Leroy, the titular character in "The Last Dragon."

Is that the "Gunther" from "Friends?" That would be that three-part name guy, something-something Tyler.
