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.

RIP to the (First) greatest evil henchman I ever saw in theaters.

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.
