Alex Rebar

Alexander John Rebar (July 9, 1940 – November 19, 2021) was an American producer, writer and actor. He was most known for starring in the cult film The Incredible Melting Man.

Life and career He was born in Dallas, Pennsylvania on a farm where he rode horses. He attended Valley Forge Military Academy and Wilkes College before enlisting in the Navy as a Photographers Mate. After serving in the Korean War he moved to Paris where he co-founded and acted with the Studio Theater of Paris and managed a jazz club.

In Rome, Rebar worked for Production Cinitalia Edizone doing voice dubbing for Marcello Mastroianni, Klaus Kinski and the Italian version of Mighty Mouse. One of his first appearances on-screen was the psychedelic film Microscopic Liquid Subway to Oblivion with Ewa Aulin as a professor who is abducted by drug-addled hippies. He went on to write Beyond the Door, a Rosemary's Baby-meets-Exorcist knock-off before returning to Hollywood and making his star turn as the infamous (and aqueous) The Incredible Melting Man. Rebar says he enjoyed the "bad guy" role as the monster because "When else do you get to ham it up like that?" including a series called "Sex, Pain and Murder" for iFilm.

Death Rebar died at his home in Glendale, California, on November 19, 2021, at the age of 81. His final wishes were for no memorial but that "Everyone should just go home, crack open a bottle of wine, and listen to 'Got My Mojo Workin' by Muddy Waters."
