I heard this today as well. sad news, but 90 is a good long life. RIP! -
An actor who looked older than he was, and you could always count on him to shine in a supporting part. He had a sort of gravelly yet warm, distinctive voice. I recall him first as Dr. Huer (I loved that show), but he was also in ST:TNG, Ssssss, Wonder Woman (great role as Andros in season 1) and Columbo.

I find it so interesting that he was only 50 when he did Buck Rogers. I would have pegged him for much older.Places to find PlaidStallions online: https://linktr.ee/Plaidstallions

He was very important to the feel of that show. His character takes a back seat to Buck, Wilma, and Twiki, but he had an awesome voice and sincerity that made him the perfect straight man for Buck's 20th Century antics. RIP.Comment

I always liked seeing him show up on any show. Great character actor. His Wonder Woman episodes were standouts of the series.

RIP Tim. Thank you for Buck Rogers."Do you believe, you believe in magic?
'Cos I believe, I believe that I do,
Yes, I can see I believe that it's magic
If your mission is magic your love will shine true."

Yeah Andros was in all three seasons of WW. Tim played him in season 1 & 3. Season two used Dack Rambo as Andros for whatever reason.Comment

O'Connor played a different character in WW season 3, a military officer. I think Rambo was playing O'Connor's son, which I thought was weird because I'd assumed the aliens were long-lived/immortal.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment

I saw him in a cool episode of Gunsmoke a few years back on Encore Westerns with a young boy who grew up to be Wyatt Earp.
Posting it here if anyone cares to watch.

Just watched him as "the body" on a Columbo episode the other day.
