James Karen will always be remembered for such cult hits as FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE SPACE MONSTER (my personal favorite), POLTERGEIST and RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD.
Karen started his career in 1948 and was one of the busiest character actors in the business. He appeared in many, many TV shows such as THE DEFENDERS, THE WALTONS, STREETS OF SAN FRANCISCO and many more. His last movie was CYNTHIA made just this year.
Karen was also known to many people on the East coast as the spokesman for Pathmark Supermarkets. Karen made about 5000+ TV commercials and was a very well liked man in the industry.
My introduction to him was in the film I mentioned above, FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE SPACE MONSTER. He was 94.
