Ken Clark in HERCULES AGAINST THE MONGOLS

Ken died a year ago today at the age of 81. Though he did just a couple of Sword & Sandal films he excelled in Eurospy films, including the Dick Malloy series in which he was really impressive. I was already a fan but those films made me a Ken Clark fan for life. I just wish he made more PEPLUM films though.  Like so many other PEPLUM actors like Steve Reeves, I never understood why his career never took off in North America. He's virtually unknown here, which is sad.
