Lou Cutell – Rest in Peace

While some might know Cutell from his appearance on TV’s Seinfeld or even as Amazing Larry in Pee-wee’s Big Adventure (1985), but for us fans of cheesy horror / sci-fi films, you will remember him as Dr. Nadir in Frankenstein Meets the Spacemonster (1965). Being that was his first feature film, you can understand why he took it. Even though it is rated as one of the worst films ever made, it is something a lot of people remember him from, so I would say that is a positive. Think of how many films are forgotten!

Cutell recently passed away at the age of 91. From a wide range of TV show appearances, and small roles, sometimes even uncredited, such as being a frightened villager in Young Frankenstein (1974), I will still remember as the good Dr. Nadir. Rest in Peace, Lou, and thanks for the laughs.
