Reggie Nalder (born Alfred Reginald Natzler; 4 September 1907 – 19 November 1991) was a prolific
Austrian film and television
character actor from the late 1940s to the early 1990s. His distinctive features—partially the result of disfiguring burns[1]—together with a haunting style and demeanor led to his being called "The Face That Launched a Thousand Trips".
Nalder appeared, at the request of star
Frank Sinatra, in a brief, uncredited role as a communist spymaster in
John Frankenheimer's 1962 film The Manchurian Candidate. He also had a brief role in the 1981 Walt Disney film The Devil and Max Devlin but stated in an interview that he could not stand working with
Bill Cosby, the star of the film. He described him as "a pig", as well as "rude, arrogant, and very untalented."[5]
Nalder's television work also included episodes of the series 77 Sunset Strip, It Takes A Thief, Surfside Six,
Boris Karloff's Thriller ("The Terror In Teakwood" and "The Return Of Andrew Bentley"), McCloud and I Spy. Nalder was also credited as "Detlef Van Berg" in the
X rated films Dracula Sucks (1978) and Blue Ice (1985), but performed in no scenes of a pornographic nature.
