Dean Stockwell. He was 85.
204 credits in IMDB, dating back to 1945. The man worked, and had been working since he was a child.
Yes, “Quantum Leap” and “Blue Velvet” and the Lynch “Dune”. Also the “Battlestar Galactica” revival, the original “Twilight Zone”, one episode of a spinoff of a minor 1960s SF TV show, “Beverly Hills Cop II”, “To Live and Die in L.A.”, “Paris, Texas”, “Wagon Train”, and the list goes on. He was no slouch when it came to movies, and if it was a TV series, he was almost certainly in it at some point.
And that includes “Mannix”. (“A Step in Time”, season 5, episode 3. He was “Chris Townsend”.)
Lawrence sent over a nice obit from National Review for Gerald Russello, NR contributor and editor of the University Bookman.
Edited to add: NYT obit for Dean Stockwell.
Max Cleland, former Senator from Georgia.
Stipulated: he was a liberal (according to the NYT, too liberal for Georgia), and we probably would have disagreed on many issues.
But: he also served honorably in Vietnam.
On April 8, 1968, just days before his tour was to end, Capt. Cleland was on a rescue mission in the village of Khe Sanh when he noticed a hand grenade on the ground. He picked it up and it detonated, instantly severing his right leg and right arm; his left leg was amputated within the hour. He was later awarded the Bronze Star and a Silver Star for meritorious service.
For three decades, Mr. Cleland blamed himself for his injuries, thinking the grenade had fallen off his own belt. But he later learned from a Marine who had witnessed the explosion that it had been dropped by an unnamed private who had manipulated the pins in a misguided attempt to make the grenade easier to use in combat.
Edited to add 2: THR obit for Dean Stockwell.
