vast majority will ask “who?” Not me. Like many, I remember him most as Commodore Decker in The Doomsday Machine. And, another WWII vet. RIP.

A great actor in the 60s and 70s. I had no idea he was still alive in 2012.
I remember him as the senator in “The Farmer’s Daughter” with Inger Stevens.

He was in a show in the Sixties that was based on the subtle humor of James Thurber. It was only on for one season, but I thought it was great. Of course, I was only a dumb teenager so what would I have known. I think it was named after one of Thurber’s books, “ My Life and Welcome To It”.
Good actor who should have been bigger.

That's the first thing I thought of. :)
I also remember My World and Welcome to It.

I did not remember the name, but I remember “My World and Welcome To It.” One of the best series ever to appear on TV, in my humble opinion.

I remember Inger Stevens ... hubba, hubba.
