31. LaVey also found work as an actor and technical advisor on Satanic movies

As a notorious man experienced in show business (if only the seedier end of bars and strip clubs) with a near-unrivaled knowledge of esoteric lore, it’s no surprise that LaVey won roles in several movies. The 1969 short film, Invocation of My Demon Brother, directed by Kenneth Anger and with a score written by none other than Mick Jagger, had LaVey credited as Satan. In 1975, he was hired as a technical advisor on The Devil’s Rain, the movie that launched the career of John Travolta, and appeared as the High Priest of the Church of Satan (damn typecasting!).
