George Keymas (November 18, 1925 – January 17, 2008) was an American film and television actor.[1]
Career
Keymas graduated from Springfield (Ohio) High School.[2]
Keymas began his Hollywood career in 1950, mainly in Westerns. His first screen appearance was in an uncredited role in the 1950 B-feature film, I Shot Billy the Kid, with lead Don "Red" Barry. Keymas was cast in ethnic, often Native American characters, or cow-punching, at times ruthless, cowboys, in countless film and TV Westerns.[citation needed] He appeared on "Have Gun Will Travel" S2 E19 "The Monster" as Regaldo, which first aired on 1/14/1960.
He portrayed "the Leader" in The Twilight Zone episode "Eye of the Beholder", which originally aired November 11, 1960. His freakish, ambiguous character was seen throughout the episode on a futuristic big-screen monitor as background subplot to the story. In 1962, he played a murderer in "The Nancy Davis Story" on the TV Western Wagon Train.
Keymas's "Indian" roles came in many other popular TV Westerns series of the day, such as Daniel Boone, Death Valley Days, The High Chaparral, Gunsmoke, and Bonanza, among many others. Keymas retired in 1977.[2]
