Nicholas Worth, 69, an imposing character actor who often played the
darkest of villains in such B movies as "Don't Answer the
Phone!" (1980), died of heart failure Monday at Valley Presbyterian
Hospital in Van Nuys, said his friend Jack Stern.
Worth debuted in "For Pete's Sake" (1966) and appeared in almost 90
films and television productions. He was in "Swamp Thing" (1982), "The
Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!" (1988) and
"Darkman" (1990). He also portrayed a criminal in the ABC movie "The
Rape of Richard Beck" (1985).
He was born Sept. 4, 1937, in St. Louis, Miss., to parents who owned a
furniture store. At 8, Worth decided to become an actor.
After earning a bachelor's in fine arts from the Carnegie Institute of
Technology, Worth served for three years as an Army paratrooper
stationed in Kentucky.
After leaving the service in 1965, he moved to Los Angeles, studied at
the Pasadena Playhouse and appeared in local stage productions.
