R.I.P. Richard Herd

[greenguy]

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

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.

I agree 100%. No matter how good or bad a overall production was, Herd was always solid.

Thanks for the link, very cool to read something from people that worked with him.

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.
