Richard Herd who was Adam Taft in TGAH pilot has passed away. He was a favorite of anyone growing up in 80s, he appeared on tons of TV series. To fans of the sci-fi genre, he's probably most famous for portraying Supreme Commander John in both V & V The Final Battle, and a fantastic guest star turn as Moe Stein in the Quantum Leap episode Future Boy. I could go on and on with a list: The A-Team, Knight Rider, Simon & Simon, Matt Houston etc. He also was a regular as Capt. Sheridan on T.J. Hooker. Mass audiences probably know him best from Seinfeld where he was Wilhem, George's boss at the New York Yankees. R.I.P. sir www.cnn.com/2020/05/26/entertainment/richard-herd-obit/index.html

Bless him. He was one of those unobtrusive but talented, professional, always right for the part guys. He appeared several times on Quantum Leap, which is a favorite of mine. There's a nice post for him on TCM's message board, which includes tributes from people who worked with him. I had no idea he appeared on so many successful shows. forums.tcm.com/topic/264250-actor-richard-herd-1932-2020/

R.I.P. to him.
I have always loved him when I see him in things. He was a great actor and he will be missed.
