Template:Realworld Janos Prohaska (10 October 1919 – 13 March 1974; age 54) was a Hungarian stunt man, actor, and animal imitator. Several of the original series monsters and aliens were performed by Prohaska. He did similar work for earlier science fiction classic The Outer Limits; in particular the monster from "The Probe", the last Outer Limits episode, is similar in geometry and movement to the Horta. It is possible that his thick accent kept him from speaking roles. A plane crash claimed his life in 1974.
