Sad news today as it was announced William Lucking passed away last month. TGAH fans will recognize him from It's all Downhill From Here, but Cannell series fans will no doubt know him from his turn as Col. Lynch from The A-Team. 80s TV fans watched him in Tales of The Gold Monkey, Voyagers!, Knight Rider, Magnum P.I., Simon and Simon and many more. Modern day viewers know him from Sons of Anarchy. Lucking was a guy I caught over and over watching TV when I was a kid. Always a solid actor, even when the material was less than steller.

I was sorry to see that. Of course, they never age in the reruns, but it's hard to think of how many more great guest stars and actors we will lose from this era in the next decade or so. Did we find out what he died of?

I’ve read several more bits now about his passing, but none mention the cause of death. Sadly, we will keep losing our favorites. I’m seeing more and more of that all the time.

I'm a fan of a few 1960s series. The actors are almost all gone now. 50th anniversaries have come and gone. But apparently William Shatner will never die.

The way Shatner gets around he may make 100. It seems like every month someone I watched on TV when I was a kid passes away.

Yep she is, hopefully she will be around for awhile. Just learned Dean Stockwell passed away. Quantum Leap is another favorite show of mine, so now absolutely zero chance of Al ever bringing Sam home. deadline.com/2021/11/dean-stockwell-dead-quantum-leap-star-1234870413/Of course fans of The A-Team know Stockwell appeared in the 1st season episode A Small and Deadly War. He was a member of a murderous S.W.A.T. Team along side GAH alumni Jack Ging & Al White. Norm Alden was the police inspector that hired the team to take them down, Alden also appeared on TGAH in The Newlywed Game as Pam’s father.

Oh my gosh... I adored Quantum Leap and was a huge fan of Dean Stockwell for a while. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. He was one talented, interesting guy, and his career was truly a long strange trip. I heartily recommend his works beyond Quantum Leap.

Almost all of Stockwell’s work I’ve been exposed to has been television. Except for The Boy with Green Hair, and The Werewolf of Washington it’s all been his many many guest star roles and Quantum Leap. Too bad he didn’t write an autobiography, for sure I would have bought it.

He sure could have written a book... oh, boy. The stories he could tell, as he worked with so many famous names over the decades. If you liked Werewolf of Washington, you'll love The Dunwich Horror! (LOL!) And Married to the Mob is a lot of fun, certainly worth a look. Look down his list of credits on IMDB.

I saw that he had passed too. Well, Al was going to have a hard time bringing Sam home. Bakula still lives and his active. Maybe we can still find a way.
