Felix Locher

Felix Locher was a Swiss born actor and father of actor Jon Hall who appeared in films and on television.

He was born in Berne, Switzerland in 1882.

Locher did not begin acting until he was 73 years of age.

His son  was the American actor Jon Hall ( real name Charles Felix Locher) who played in  many Arabian and South Sea Island adventure movies.

While Locher was watching his son Jon at the filming of Hell Ship Mutiny, the director thought that Locher would make a great Tahitian chief.  Thus his acting career began at age 73 racking up 30 credits in films and television.
 
Felix Locher's film roles were:

Hell Ship Mutiny (1957) as King Parea

Desert Hell (1958) as Marsaya Scout

Curse Of The Faceless Man (1958) as Dr. Emanuel

Frankenstein's Daughter (1958) as Dr. Carter Morton

Thunder In The Sun (1959) as Danielle

Walk Tall (1960) as Chief Black Feather

The Firebrand (1962) as Ramirez

California (1963) as Don Pablo Hernandez

House Of The Damned (1963) as A Corpse

The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965) as Elderly Man  Who Touches Jesus

Made In Paris (1966) as Leon

Mr. Locher appeared on television in the following programs: The Adventures Of Jim Bowie, Shirley Temple Theater, Have Gun Will Travel, One Step Beyond, Wagon Train, The Life And Legend Of Wyatt Earp, Twilight Zone, Don't Call Me Charlie, The Richard Boone Show, The Man From UNCLE, Slattery's People, The Rogues, Combat, The Munsters, Branded, Mission Impossible, Star Trek, Love American Style  and Gunsmoke.

Not a bad career  for one who started at age 73!

Prior to acting  he had a career as an inventor and held over 100 copywrites.

He was the oldest performer to appear on the Star Trek original TV series. He appeared in the episode The Deadly Years as Robert Johnson.

Locher was also the former father in law of actresses Frances Langford and Raquel  Torres.

Felix Locher passed away in 1969 at  86 years  of age.

I enjoyed Mr. Locher in the films Frankenstein's Daughter, Curse Of The Faceless Man, Thunder In The Sun and Walk tall.
