RIP Ryo Ikebe 1918-2010 - star of Gorath, War in Space

Surprised this one has not been mentioned before. Ikebe died Oct. 8, 2010 at the age of 92. Thought he was absolutely brilliant in "Gorath". Also appeared in "Battle in Outer Space" and "War in Space" among his Toho sci-fi credits (not to mention a slew of many many other Japanese features).
