Malachi Throne (December 1, 1928 – March 13, 2013)[1] was an American stage and television actor, noted for his guest-starring roles on Star Trek: The Original Series, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Lost in Space, Land of the Giants, The Time Tunnel, Mission: Impossible, and The Six Million Dollar Man, and his recurring role on It Takes a Thief


Roles in Batman
One of his strangest roles was as the villain "False Face" in the ABC Batman (1966) series. The character, who used a variety of disguises to effect his nefarious schemes, wore a semitransparent mask when not in the middle of his crimes. The mask rendered Throne's real face unrecognizable on screen. Playing off this effect, but against Throne's wishes,[citation needed] the show's producers wrote the on-screen credit as "? as False Face", which denied Throne his credit. However, at the end credits of the episode, "Holy Rat Race," his full name was finally given full credit.

Later, Throne appeared in animation as the voice of Two-Face's superego "Judge" on The New Batman Adventures (1998), and as the voice of Fingers the Gorilla on the Batman Beyond episode "Speak No Evil" (2000).[4]
