Conrad Brooks
Conrad Brooks (born Conrad Biedrzycki; January 3, 1931 – December 6, 2017) was an American actor.
Brooks moved to Hollywood, California in 1948 to pursue a career in acting. He got his start in movies appearing in Ed Wood films such as Plan 9 from Outer Space, Glen or Glenda, and Jail Bait.
Brooks took a break from acting during the 1960s and 1970s but due to the ongoing interest in the films of Ed Wood, he reemerged in the 1980s and became a prolific actor. He also went on to write, produce and direct several films.
Along with Gregory Walcott and Paul Marco, Brooks appeared in Tim Burton’s film, Ed Wood. Brooks is played by Brent Hinkley in the movie. Brooks was a frequent guest at the Mid-Atlantic Nostalgia Convention, where he signed autographs for fans who attend.
He made a cameo appearance as the pianist for the Sound The Surrender music video by heavy metal band, Darkest Hour. When The Sinister Urge episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 was released on DVD, Brooks filmed a special introduction.
Brooks teamed up again with filmmaker Jonathan M. Parisen on two films, Toilet Gator and Space Vampires from The Planet Blood, and a television show, Blast Corrigan: Rocketship To Earth.
Brooks was founder and owner of Conrad Brooks Productions, which has produced the Gypsy Vampire series, starring Bruce “Porkchop” Lindsay as Count Lugo.
Death
Brooks died on December 6, 2017 at the age of 86.
