Quoting Durock from his biographical notes from his official web site:<br /> <br /> :&#039;&#039;&quot;You&#039;ll notice in the Filmography that in my career I&#039;ve had a pretty liberal sprinkling of shows in the Sci-fi genre. Mainly, however, I usually played big mean thugs who the hero of whatever show I was doing at the time and would beat the %$@&amp;^# out of. From [[w:Clint Eastwood|Clint Eastwood]] and [[w:Charles Bronson|Charlie Bronson]], etc., in feature films to [[w:Jim Garner|Jim Garner]], [[w:Tom Selleck|Tom Selleck]], [[w:Lee Majors|Lee Majors]] and whole bunch of others in TV. I worked a lot because of my size (6&#039;5&quot;- 215lbs) and kind of a rough look. Film heroes like to beat up guys bigger than they are....makes them look good and believe me, I made a lot of them look good over the years.&quot;&#039;&#039;<br /> <br /> Durock had supporting or minor roles in classic SF such as &#039;&#039;[[MemoryAlpha:Star Trek|Star Trek]]&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;[[w:The Incredible Hulk (TV series)|The Incredible Hulk]]&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;[[w:Buck Rogers in the 25th Century|Buck Rogers in the 25th Century]]&#039;&#039;. Durock gained his own stardom as the lead in the movie, &#039;&#039;[[w:Swamp Thing (film)|Swamp Thing]]&#039;&#039;, co-starring with actress [[w:Adrienne Barbeau|Adrienne Barbeau]].<br /> <br /> Durock portrayed the uncredited role of the [[Imperious Leader]] in the episode &quot;[[Saga of a Star World]].&quot;<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:85%&quot;&gt;&lt;references/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> ==External Links==<br /> <br /> *[http://www.dickdurock.com/ The Official Dick Durock website]<br /> <br /> {{stub}}<br /> [[Category:Former Star Trek Cast and Crew]]<br /> [[Category:Glen Larson Productions Cast and Crew]]</div>
