A bit of sad news to share with you all… on the heels of losing Kawakita-San earlier this month, we have now lost another Kaiju alumni, Rhodes Reason.
Brother of cult actor Rex Reason (The Creature Walks Among Us, This Island Earth), Rhodes reason stared in over 230 films, TV episodes, and plays over the years. We monster fans, of course, will always remember Mr. Reason for playing Carl Nelson in 1967’s King Kong Escapes. Fun fact: Reason was the only actor to redub his own voice for the American release, which featured only two other actors doing the male and female voices. (The guy doing the make voices was voice acting legend Paul Frees, who did a lot of voice work for Rankin/Bass in the 1960’s).
Reason was always good to his fans, granting interviews and appearing at a G-FEST several years back. He recounts his memories in an extended interview in Stuart Galbraith IV’s book “Monsters Are Attack Tokyo!”.
Rest in peace, Mr. Reason. You will be missed.
