True, Michael..his shadowy presence atop a tall throne did add a sinister dictator type theme. Most thought that the Imperious Leader was a prop or puppet ,when actually the late actor/stuntman Dick Durock was inside the costume.Most assumed that he had large afro style hair ....it was a crown made of dark woven metallic material. Although a machine himself his appearance was crafted as a true Cylon, the extinct lizard like race. Speaking of lizards, anyone ever notice his "pet" resting on his arm? It was a live horned chameleon with fake wings attached . This was a favorite character of mine..Lucifer and Baltar right up there too.
It is a shame that the Imperious Leader wasn't utilized a bit more, but it did add an air of mystery to the character. I thought he was awesome, way up in the air, talking down to the minions.
I always liked the expression on Baltar's face, when it began to sink in, as to just how quickly his position in life just became a whole lot worse......
Baltar realizing he has been betrayed by the Imperious Leader.."But we had a bargain!"
Imperious Leader: "I have altered the bargain" ( great way to say "I lied")
Loved that character and voice, too.Too bad that the Imperious leader was only seen briefly in the shadows..the costume the actor wore cost thousands of dollars and Glen Larson didn't like the face mask..therefore hidden in the shadows during his scenes
I always like the Imperious leader, and Patrick Macnee's voice was perfect for the role.
