Forget Shat's Toup - What About Koenig's Wig?

[Ryan Thomas Riddle]

At this point Koenig is completely bald except for a fringe. He's not really that shy about going out with a rug, and if you look long enough you can find a couple of pictures online of him attending premieres wigless - Getty Images has one, I think.

Koenig openly points out his rug in this video interview.

(timecode 7:20 is where he calls it out)

He's had at least one heart attack, too. Hope he's taking care of himself.

Joe, plays one on TV

BLASPHEMY!!!!!!!!

only kidding. *sigh* i know in my head that he wears one (that pic posted by GREENSHIRT really does show how thin it was up there), but my heart just won't accept it.

again, kidding.

As for bald spots not conveying youth, i have to agree. Just shave the whole thing...there's nothing hotter than a shaved head (mho)....thank goodness Bruce Willis started that trend!!!

I have watched the series and movies over the years, and never realized that some of the actors wore toupes and wigs. I always asumed that it was thier real hair instead of fake. I couldn't tell the differance anyways, it still looks real to me.

I doubt that Koenig wore a wig after his hair grew long enough to no longer need the Davy Jones wig. If you watch The Way to Eden, you can clearly see that he has a combover going on in back when he is in the auxiliary control room:

In the following shot you get a glimpse of a bald spot:

Perhaps they didn't spray the scalp paint on thick enough.

With a wig there would be no need for a combover and scalp paint.

^ Whew, so now i realize The Donald didnt inwent the massive combover. It was a Russian Inwention!
