Ro-Man as portrayed by George Barrows in Phil Tucker's notorious 1953 classic "Robot Monster"
With a name like "Robot Monster" how could you possibly go wrong?
George Barrows was lucky enough to be cast as Ro-Man partially because he owned his own gorilla suit. He also later portrayed a gorilla in an episode of "The Beverly Hillbillies".
Later in life he achieved broader success in such notable roles as
Mack the dockworker in 1958's "Frankenstein's Daughter" as well as
Ticket purchaser in 1979's "The Frisco Kid."
