Which role does Pat Walshe play as Nikko in 'The Wizard of Oz'?

Answer 1

Nikko, as the leader of the Winged Monkeys, is a creation of the 1939 film version of The Wizard of Oz. For the name can't be found in the original book of 1900 by author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 5, 1919]. The part was played by Pat Walshe [July 26, 1900-December 11, 1991]. The role of Nikko was one of only three for which the actor was known. His two other roles went uncredited, as A. Hatfield, in Roseanna McCoy, of 1949; and as Pat, in Panic in the Streets, of 1950.

Answer 2

The leader of the Winged Monkeys is the role that Pat Walshe [July 26, 1900-December 11, 1991] plays in the beloved 1939 film version of 'The Wizard of Oz'. The name 'Nikko' is listed in the credits. But nowhere in the film or the original 1900 book edition is the head monkey called by that or any other name.

Answer 3

He was a flying monkey who wore what looked like a bellhop suit. He was played by a little person so would have been 3.5 to 4.5 feet tall. He had a tail.

Answer 5

Pat Walshe (July 26, 1900 - December 11, 1991) played the role of Nikko , the Head Monkey .

Answer 6

I don't think anybody killed him. The character was alive and well at the end of the 1939 MGM movie. The actor that played Nikko died at the age of 91.
