RIP Nehemiah

For real this time? I think he played a small part in the best and original Battlestar Galactica.

Nehemiah's finest performance undoubtedly is found in the Gilligan's Island episode The Little Dictator. During a dream sequence in which Gilligan finds himself a Latin American dictator, Nehemiah's character prompts Gilligan to pronounce to the throngs below, "I promise you dis, dat and dee oter ting!" The distilled essence of what every citizen yearns to hear from a politician.

I was supposed to be a gunman who challenged Marshall Dillon [James Arness]. I suggested to the director that perhaps I might be more of a threat if I wore lifts in my shoes to make me taller. So the wardrobe people gave me high heels to make me about 6 feet. When I walked on the set and the showdown came, I looked over at Arness, and he was suddenly 7 feet tall. He had heard I was getting shoes to make myself taller, so he got a pair too and was still a foot taller than me!
