Barry Morse(Space:1999, The Fugitive) RIP

[mego73]

I just heard in my OnlineAlpha newsgroup that Barry Morse has passed away. He was always my favorite in Space:1999 and he also did a bang up job in whatever I saw him in (an episode of The Twilight Zone comes to mind).

He would've been 90 in June so he had a good long life but still, from what I've heard about him as a person (I know someone in England who is aquanted with him and even got an autographed photo of Barry through the aquantance) I wished he could've lived forever.

That and I wish they kept him for Space:1999 year 2.

True it was a shame they didn't keep him for season 2 he was my favourite along with Alan Carter....Funny as I was watching him in "Whoops Apocalypse" last night where he played the U.S. President in the TV series....R.I.P. Barry

Loved Dr Victor Bergman !!!!!!

Strangely enough, I was just watching The Last Sunset last night and wondered if Barry was still alive.

He was actually not English but Canadian, right ?

RIP

I also missed him in season 2 of 1999. Bummer.

This is really sad, he was a wonderful person.

I ran into him and his family one day walking down younge st (Morse had lived in Canada for a good part of his life) and approached him. Possibly the most genuine celebrity I have ever met, gracious, signed an autograph and lingered. A person I know was in a theatre class in the late 70's and said Barry Morse showed up a great deal to give advice, he did this for free and just liked hanging around with actors.


He will be missed.
