Robert Walter Quarry (born
November 3,
1925) is an
American actor. He is known for his
horror film roles. His films include
Count Yorga, Vampire (1970), its sequel
The Return of Count Yorga (1971), and
Dr. Phibes Rises Again (1972), in which he was pitted against
Vincent Price in a race to find the mythical
elixir of eternal life. Price did not care for his co-star - once, when Quarry was singing in his dressing room during the making of Dr Phibes Rises Again, he said to Price, "You didn't know I could sing did you?" and Price replied: "Well I knew you couldn't act." American International Pictures had plans for Quarry to succeed Price, but the decline in the company's fortunes, and old style horror films falling out of fashion, meant that it never happened. Quarry's career was further set back by a road accident that resulted in serious facial injuries.
