Hi all!
As you all know I am SUPER excited about the Reunion events in CA in September!
Ray has told me that if I can find Dennis Kort ("The Genius") he will send him an invite - he has had no luck locating him.
I haven't either! It's like he fell off the planet after 1981. I found a couple of people by that name. Unfortunately on an ancestry site I found a death record by a fellow of the same name of the appropriate age. I really hope it's not him!
He's an ACTOR for goodness' sake - how can there be no information anywhere on him?
If any of y'all have some time to kill, I would much appreciate some assistance.

I tried and tried, but I can't come up with anything for you I tried many different searches, and finally I typed into google," Actor Dennis Kort, where are you?"" and the first response was " do you mean you are looking for Scooby Doo? ;D I did that search again, but I came up with nothing...sorry

Have you tried the Internet Movie Database? It lists all the things he was in as an actor, and if you scroll down, there is a message board with some posts about him. A couple of people say they know him. One wrote: "I have known Dennis for 36 years. He was a VERY good actor. But, he is a WONDERFUL human being, friend and father. As posted above, several of his more memorable roles were as arrogant intellectuals. Dennis is indeed quite the intellectual, but is in no way arrogant. And, as posted above, he is quite adorable." Maybe you could try to contact this person. Good luck.

You guys rock! I private messaged both of the people who indicated that they knew him but neither has been active on imdb for several years. I also posted a reply asking for help.
SO GLAD that he's still around.

I just called SAG and they said he was listed in the database but there is no contact info for him.

I'm afraid that he may not want to be found..... Nowadays, with the internet, it's usually an easy task to find someone -- unless they have carefully "covered their tracks." That may be the case..... Woe.

Is Dennis Kort his birth name? Many actors use stage names.

Yeah, Jeri, it's weird. He doesn't even have a wikipedia! The last project I see that he did was in 1981.
My, how quickly the world forgets..?
Maybe he met the love of his life and totally refocused? Maybe he just didn't really like acting? Maybe he had a bad experience and decided to forget it all?
I always figured if I ever hit it big and became rich and famous I'd go hard for a few years then disappear into obscurity. Apparently it CAN be done!
carol, I'm pretty sure that's his real name but there's really no way to know.

According to imdb.com the last project he was in was "Angel" made in 1984.
Makes you wonder if even a private investigator could find him!
I'm sure if you had connections to the MOB, he could definitely be found! LOL!! But of course I would not even begin to pursue that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You're right - the last one was in '84. Wow, almost 30 years ago!

I found this! says this Dennis Kort was born in 1958. also says his current location is Panama City, FL. but says he used to live in Travis Afb, CA Folsom, CA & Sacramento, CA. www.mylife.com/c-614275593I found a contact email to another actor (Rex Sikes) who co-starred with him in 'Massacre at central high', I'm going to contact him and see if he happens to still keep in touch with Dennis or knows of someone who does. EDIT: I actually called Rex on the phone just a couple minutes ago and he said he's been trying for 30+ years to find out where Dennis went too! He mentioned that last he knew, he heard Dennis was in San Pedro. he told me if anyone finds out anything to let him know! out all the co-stars he worked with on that film, he's the only one that none of the cast can locate.
