Damn! He was always a fun bad guy to watch. He just had an intimidating face.

He was great as Ramon Cota, the main villain in Delta Force 2 with Chuck Norris.
Awesome climatic scene with them together

I remember him as the white haired gang member in Vamp. I never can figure out if it's a strength or a weakness that his character and his gang members didn't turn out to be vampires.

He was cool in that X-Files episode where he was some sort of voodoo practitioner cut off from the modern world. I remember a scene where he discovers popcorn and puts it in the microwave. The way he says popcorn like "poppin' corn" always made me laugh. I still say poppin' corn to this day.
The original post says that the cause of death is not known - but updated reports say it was complications from a stroke.

I always liked Billy Drago. He brought the creepy in everything he did no matter what the role was. He had a very interesting face.

His son was on Northern exposure and looked just like him until the guy got older then he did not look like him anymore.

RIP to the (First) greatest evil henchman I ever saw in theaters.
Put that on his tombstone!

Re: Billy Drago dead at 73
I am shocked so many didn't know him by name, he was always popping up in 80s B movies.
Anyway, my favorite scene of his, and one of the greatest scenes of all time is from a little art house movie he did for the Canon group.

I knew his name really well, kind of recognized his face.Seeing the references above, I couldn't place him in anything I had seen that would give him the familiarity I had with him. Adventures of Brisco County Jr is where I was thinking of him. I loved that show.
