RIP: Dean Stockwell, 85

[thewayne]

What a career! Born into a family of performers going back into vaudeville, Dean had a career spanning over five decades: he was a child actor, appeared in Long Day's Journey Into Night, Battlestar Galactica which led to many TV series roles, his recurring series as the holographic sidekick Al to Sam in Quantum Leap. But what I did not know, and will henceforth cherish, is he voiced Duke Nukem.

You had an amazing career, sir. Rest in peace, you've earned it.

Oh, that’s sad. I loved Dean.

I think it was his work on Quantum Leap that eventually got him the "Brother(s) John Cavil" role on "Second Galactica"...and yes, it was indeed an amazing career he had.

I was just thinking the other day...

...with the renewed interest in Dune, how he played Dr. Yueh in 1984.

My hubby and I are also big Quantum Leap fans...

That's him in Duke Nukem 3D? That's...that's something I wouldn't have expected, given his role on Quantum Leap.
