lordshipmayhemToday they announced the death of British/Canadian actor Barry Morse.
I first encountered Barry Morse's work when he played Professor Victor Bergman in Space: 1999. My mother met him when she and Dad were at a Firefighters' Association convention in the Niagara area - they took the wives out to Niagara-on-the-Lake where he was appearing in a Shaw Festival production, and he downed tools for a good half hour or more and chatted with the busload of ladies, most of them fans of his work as Lt. Philip Gerard in The Fugitive.
(On a humorous note, the ads below the obituary were all about "excellent" anti-virus software. I don't believe Barry Morse died of a computer virus...)
