For younger folks than me, he was part of the cast on "T.J. Hooker" in the 1980's. I tuned in to the show for Heather Locklear though. Pretty active career in TV and movies during the 1960s, and a few pop hits. 88. Watched one of his movies on Friday night.

It's just not possible for him to be 88.

Took me a minute to place him, I had him confused with James Stacy. He had a good run, like para said 88 doesn’t seem possible.

Yes, I remember "The Time Tunnel" too, haven't seen it in ages though. And a toast to him; another article mentioned that he was still married to his first wife at the time of passing. Sixty-four years. Pretty good run there also.

First came across him as "Vic Fontaine" on DS9; we loved those episodes! He played a great smooth 60's Vegas nightclub singer in them; some of the best episodes of the whole series!
Afterwards, we found a CD he made with songs he did on the series; a real nice collection called
"This one's from the heart"; worth getting and listening to; he really knew how to sing those tunes!

Another, "Me too".

I remember his music, don't remember a thing about his acting.

That was my thought exactly. I try to avoid looking at calendars these days.

First thought was Time Tunnel. Second, he was the young Greek kid on the team from Guns of Navarone.

My first, too, though I remember him from the holodeck episodes too. I don’t know if I ever knew that was him in TGoN. Rest in peace, Mr. Darren.
