Hope this hasn’t been already posted but I can’t search. He was the back up in many movies and serials.[Link](http://www.abc.net.au/rn/movietime/stories/2008/2355799.htm)

I know that name, from just one movie – a late Fifties horror/Western hybrid called (I _think_) **Curse Of The Undead** , in which he played a badass gunslinger who’s also…

a _vampire_!.

It was pretty good as I recollect, for a Fifties B-movie, and I remember Mr Pate as being spookily convincing in his role…as well as looking rather sexy in his all-black cowboy garb.
