  "description": "George Keymas (November 18, 1925 – January 17, 2008) was an American film and television actor.\n\nKeymas graduated from Springfield (Ohio) High School.\n\nKeymas 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. He appeared on \"Have Gun Will Travel\" S2 E19 \"The Monster\" as Regaldo, which first aired on 1/14/1960.\n\nHe 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.\n\nKeymas'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.\n\nSelected filmography\n\nI Shot Billy the Kid (1950) - Murphy's Man (uncredited)\n\nBorder Rangers (1950) - Raker, Henchman\n\nMask of the Avenger (1951) - Austrian Soldier (uncredited)\n\nActors and Sin (1952) (segment \"Woman of Sin\") - Producer\n\nThe Miracle of Our Lady of Fatima (1952) - Prisoner (uncredited)\n\nSalome (1953) - Sailor (uncredited)\n\nSiren of Bagdad (1953) - Soradin\n\nFlame of Calcutta (1953) - Prince Jehan\n\nThe Robe (1953) - Slave (uncredited)\n\nThe Great Adventures of Captain Kidd (1953, Serial) - Sailor in the Argus brig (uncredited)\n\nKing of the Khyber Rifles (1953) - Afridi Horseman (uncredited)\n\nBait (1954) - Chuck\n\nDrums of Tahiti (1954) - Angelo\n\nThe Raid (1954) - Captain Dupree (uncredited)\n\nThe Black Dakotas (1954) - Spotted Deer (uncredited)\n\nThey Rode West (1954) - Torquay (uncredited)\n\nThe Bamboo Prison (1954) - Spiros Metaxas (uncredited)\n\nThe Prodigal (1955) - Scribe (uncredited)\n\nStranger on Horseback (1955) - Bannerman's Henchman\n\nWyoming Renegades (1955) - George Curry\n\nKentucky Rifle (1955) - Interpreter\n\nSanta Fe Passage (1955) - Chief Satank\n\nApache Ambush (1955) - Tweedy\n\nThe Vanishing American (1955) - Coshanta\n\nKismet (1955) - Young Policeman (uncredited)\n\nFury at Gunsight Pass (1956) - Daley\n\nThe Maverick Queen (1956) - Muncie\n\nWalk the Proud Land (1956) - Ponce (uncredited)\n\nThunder Over Arizona (1956) - Harvard 'Shotgun' Kelly\n\nThe White Squaw (1956) - Yotah\n\nUtah Blaine (1957) - Rink Witter\n\nThe Storm Rider (1957) - Apache Kid\n\nApache Warrior (1957) - Chato\n\nPlunder Road (1957) - Officer No. 1 (uncredited)\n\nGunfire at Indian Gap (1957) - Scully\n\nCole Younger, Gunfighter (1958) - Sergeant Price, State Police\n\nGunsmoke in Tucson (1958) - Hondo\n\nDeath Valley Days (1960) - Toguima, Episode: Mission to the Mountains\n\nStuds Lonigan (1960) - Gangster (uncredited)\n\nLonely Are the Brave (1962) - Deputy (uncredited)\n\nHe Rides Tall (1964) - Ed Harney (uncredited)\n\nArizona Raiders (1965) - Montana\n\nBeau Geste (1966) - Platoon Sergeant\n\nJourney to Shiloh (1968) - Crooked Gambler (uncredited)\n\nThe Other Side of Midnight (1977) - Dr. K\n\nCLR",
