'We mainly just hissed on the show.' Bill Laimbeer played a Sleestak on the hit TV show 'Land of the Lost' before starring in the NBA.
Bill Laimbeer, center, coach of the WNBA's Las Vegas Aces basketball team, poses for photos with Kathy Coleman, left, and Wesley Eure on Tuesday, July 30, 2019, in Las Vegas. Laimbeer spent a season playing a Sleestak on the hit television show "Land of the Lost." He played one of the nearly 7-foot-tall reptilian creatures in the first season of the show in 1974.
“We had to wear wet suits and full masks and everything,” Laimbeer said. “We were supposed to be their enemies and we mainly just hissed on the show. It was a lot of fun.” Former cast members Kathy Coleman and Wesley Eure , who starred in the show, came to Las Vegas Aces’ shootaround Tuesday morning and surprised Laimbeer and the team. The duo was in town for a convention that starts Wednesday.
