Don Barry appeared as one of Tut's henchmen in Episodes 27- The Curse of Tut and # 28 - The Pharaoh's In A Rut as Grand Vizier.
A football star
in his high school and college days, Don Barry forsook an advertising
career in favor of a stage acting job with a stock company. This
barnstorming work led to movie bit parts. Barry's short 
stature,
athletic build and pugnacious facial features made him a natural for
bad guy parts in Westerns, but he was lucky 
enough
to star in the 1940 Republic serial The Adventures of Red Ryder;
this and subsequent appearance as "Lone Ranger" clone Red
Ryder earned the actor the permanent sobriquet Donald "Red"
Barry. Republic promoted the actor to bigger-budget features in the
1940s. Barry produced as well as starred in a number of westerns, but
this venture ultimately failed, and the actor, whose private life was
tempestuous in the best of times, was consigned to supporting roles
before the 1950s were over. By the late 1960s, Barry was compelled to
publicly entreat his fans to contribute one dollar apiece for a new
series of westerns. Saving the actor from further self-humiliation
were such Barry aficionados as actor Burt Reynolds and director Don
Siegel, who saw to it that Don was cast in prominent supporting roles
during the 1970s, notably a telling role in Hustle (1976). In 1980,
Don "Red" Barry killed himself and his young wife -- a sad
but not surprising end to an erratic life and career. -- Hal
