Did this help him host the live TPiR show?

Didn't have much else to do, so I rummaged around the game show Interwebs and found one of the oddest items ever.

IMDb credits Todd Newton, host of Whammy, Family Game Night and countless runs of The Price is Right's live show, with a role on Charmed. For those who don't remember or never knew, Charmed was a Shannon Doherty vehicle on the now defunct WB network. It was a fantasy series about three yuppie witches who stumble through various goofball adventures.

The show was about as far removed from my demo and interest range as possible, so I never saw a minute of it. Until today. I found the episode with Todd's supposed appearance on DailyMotion and blitzed through it, looking for Mr. Newton.

I didn't see him but I did see the role he is credited for. The character's called "Yama" (see screenshot) and he's a demon with a nasty attitude, a black horse, and lots of growls and heavy breathing. I have no idea if that's really Todd Newton on the horse, or if he just voiced the breathing and growls, or if he was actually in the show at all. But would IMDb lie to me?

Well, maybe. But I must admit, it would be nice if this role really is on Todd's resume. He should do one of the TPiR shows in that get-up.
