“...lost his fight with a rare and viciously aggressive form of cancer,’ Janet said.”
Turbo cancer... Could it be that he died safely and effectively?
be de be de be good bye Buck
Dr. Theopolis and Twiki were cool, as well.
I have no idea how I remember any names, because I haven't watched it since it was originally broadcast.
I must have liked it—a lot.
I was a big fan as a child.
bedebedebede RIP Buck...
Rest In Peace, Gil.
Gilbert "Gil" Gerard was born on Jan. 23, 1943 in Little Rock, Arkansas, and did a good deal of acting in high school. He attended the University of Arkansas but dropped out before graduation. He landed a job as an industrial chemist. He became regional manager of a large chemical company, headed by (1967-1971) Arkansas Governor "Win" Winthrop Rockefeller. After a few years, Gil's employers said they would name him the firm's vice-president if he pursued his master's degree. Gil resigned rather than tell everyone he did not have a college diploma.Regards,He moved to New York where he studied drama by day and drove a cab at night. By chance, Gil picked up a fare who showed a lively interest in the problems of unknown, unemployed actors. Before that passenger left the cab, he told Gil to report in a few days to the set of Love Story (1970), which was being filmed on location in New York City. When Gil arrived on the "Love Story" set, he was hired as an extra. Later that day, he was singled out for a "bit" role, which eventually wound up on the cutting room floor, but Gil now had his first professional credit.
Had been battling obesity his entire life and in his later years had maxed out at over 350 pounds, resulting in him suffering from a number of life threatening complications including diabetes and congestive heart failure. It 1988, he had a form of weight loss surgery known as a mini-gastric bypass, and by 1990, his weight dropped to 220 pounds and improved his health dramatically.
Man, he played HARD. He should have died in a hot tub with Connie’s panties floating in it in the 80s. He had serious party and addiction problem. Got clean and lived at comicons. Nice guy.
What I remember of Buck Rogers in the 25th Century is Commander Wilma Deering played by Erin Gray.
How’s Wilma doing?
He died from a rare and aggressive form of cancer in a matter of days. I don’t want to say its the vaxx but .........
“Gerard portrayed Dr. Alan Stewart on a total of 303 episodes of The Doctors from 1973–1976.”
He did only 32 episodes of Buck Rogers, yet its Buck Rogers he’s remembered for.
Erin was THE reason to watch that show!
