R.C. Bates, RIP

GARDEN CITY, Mich. — Actor, comedian and poet R.C. Bates died Dec. 8 at his home here. Though some may recognize him from his memorable presence in the band Soundgarden’s “Black Hole Sun” video (featuring that OTHER Chris Cornell), MSTies are sure to remember him as crusty caretaker Sam the Keeper in the movie in episode 904- WEREWOLF. He was 77.

Weird things a-doin’ … round here.

Here’s a fun visit with him.

    Only 77? I guess he wasn’t as old in “Werewolf” as I thought he was.
