I loved Michael dearly, I met him when I was very young and he is part of who I am. He was the only person who always understood what I meant without having to explain it all, we used to have a cue, when one of us started to explain or repeat a concept, the other one was to say, "it's me", then we’d smiled and kept going.
Then there was the not so pretty side of Michael, so eventually, when I had my son, I had to keep a distance, and time went by....
Ironically, I always planned to bring Michael into my son's life once he was old enough, for the same mental expansion that I and so many others had experienced thanks to him. Sadly, that was not meant to be. I am thankful to Michael and I am thankful I got to tell him how much he meant to me a few weeks before he died.
He was the most intelligent person I’ve ever known, and extremely generous with his gift and his energy.
You were my mind mate, I miss you Michael.

Mary Ann Salisbury I thought I coined the term "Wacky Pataki" I guess it just goes to say that it's an apt description of a fantastic person!

Ed Robertson Michael Pataki was one of those actors you saw all the time on television (and, particularly, just about every major show in the '60s and '70s). He wasn't given much to do on "The Amazing Spider-Man" (CBS, first season, 1978), but it was nice to see him in a weekly series, at least for ...See More

His film debut was an uncredited role in 1958's "Ten North Frederick," but it was at a 1966 summer stock festival in Edinburgh that he impressed.
Brian Perler Michael Pataki passed away. As a fan of both MST3K and Star Trek, that's kind of a bummer. :( "I didn't mean to say that the Enterprise should be hauling garbage. I meant to say that it should be hauled away *as* garbage!"
Nick Graystone RIP Michael Pataki. He played Dr. Hoffman in Halloween 4 but is most know for being Ivan Drago's Russian Don King guy. "WHateva he hits , he destroys!".
Timothy John Bowen RIP Michael Pataki. Nothing lasts forever, only love, only love. (MST3K fans should get that)

Mark H. Rollie RIP for character actor Michael Pataki, who appeared in dozens - or more! - TV episodes and movies from the 60s thru the 70s and 80s. If you lived at the drive-in movie theatres, for sure you would have seen him every season in at least one movie!

Let me tell you about a man. A man who both had a lot to do with Liquor, and a little to do with 3 separate generations of Star Trek. Interested yet? Anyone still reading? You’d better be, this is the most amazing adventure you’re ever going to take in two paragraphs. ...
Richard S Meyers R.I.P. Michael Pataki. No matter what the movie, always a great performance. Grave of the Vampire was my fave. Balls to the wall sir. Happy afterlife.
