There probably is no Mystery Science Theater 3000 without him especially with episodes like Gunslinger, Munchies and Swamp Diamonds.  RIP Roger.

He had a good run. I've thought he was dead a dozen times after watching one of his films and then looking him up, but there he was still alive. 

 

RIP

I loved his series of adaptations of Edgar Allan Poe stories in the early '60s...... The Masque Of The Red Death being a particular favourite.

RIP Roger.

I watched a bunch of those about a year ago.

I saw one of this films recently, The Secret Invasion with Stewart Granger, William Campbell, Mickey Rooney, Henry Silva and Raf Valone. It was kind of like The Dirty Dozen 3 years before The Dirty Dozen.
