| Red West and Elvis Presley in 1971 |
The late Red West (1936 - 2017) wore many hats throughout his long career. Aside from being a founding member of Elvis Presley's inner circle known as the "Memphis Mafia" (and Elvis' personal bodyguard), he was a talented songwriter, an author, a karate instructor, stuntman, boxer and a prolific character actor who made unforgettable appearances on several classic Sci-Fi shows. He made three appearances (playing different characters) on The Greatest American Hero and also appeared on Battlestar Galactica, Knight Rider, The Six Million Dollar Man, The "New" Twilight Zone and many other shows. Here are some highlights from his genre appearances.
