In addition to "Gilligan's island," he also played bears and assorted creatures in "Star Trek," "Bewitched," "Lost In Space" and "The Outer Limits." In his experience with ape costumes, Prohaska was even visited by cryptozoologist and Bigfoot researcher John Green to give his opinion on the Patterson-Gimlin footage, reported to be one of the best pieces of evidence to support the existence of Sasquatch. When asked if he thought the film was faked, Prohaska replied, "I don't think so." He further added, "To me it looks very, very real." If the film was hoaxed, he thought it was remarkably realistic and sophisticated, and the best costume he had ever seen. The only plausible explanation was that someone might have glued false hair directly to an actor.<br data-rte-washtml="1" /> <!-- RTE::{"spaces":1,"type":"LINE_BREAK"} -->Sadly, Janos died in a plane crash around eight years after the airing of the <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Beauty%20Is%20As%20Beauty%20Does%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Beauty%20Is%20as%20Beauty%20Does%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Afalse%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BBeauty%20Is%20as%20Beauty%20Does%7CBeauty%20Is%20As%20Beauty%20Does%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="200544-10246512125f60d9eef13a6" href="/wiki/Beauty_Is_as_Beauty_Does" title="Beauty Is as Beauty Does">Beauty Is As Beauty Does</a> episode.
