Why would he wear a Malachi Throne mask?

(Okay, not really)

[Forbin]

LORD Garth as an evil toy manufacturer who killed Dan Farrell's wife years ago, in The Name of the Game episode "Nightmare."

Notice the cool 1968 Thunderbird 1 toy!!

It takes a drunk Martin Balsam to nail Lord Garth!

^That's interesting, 'cause he also played a Japanese on Hawaii 5-0 once! Strange casting! (Then again. Mark Lenard also played a Japanese once on 5-0, as did numerous Italian actors. Ah, the 60s!)

Just watched the Lenard episode last night ("To Hell with Babe Ruth," Oct. 1, 1969). At this point, Ricardo Montalban, David Opatoshu, and Mark Lenard have guested on Hawaii 5-O in Asian roles...and we're barely into Season 2.
