United States veteran actor – Dean Stockwell, is dead at 85 years old.
He was known for his act in Air Force One and Quantum Leap.
Many actors have come online to pay tribute to their fallen comrade:
Scott Bakula;
“Dean was such a passionate man… about life, his work, his art (he was an amazing artist!), his family, all kinds of causes, people, music, the planet, cigars, golf, and on and on!
“Having been a famous child actor, he had a soft spot for every young actor who came on our set.
He was very protective of their rights and safety and always checked in with them to make sure that they were OK. His big-hearted response to the kids made all of us take notice and be better guardians ourselves.”
Lydia Cornell:
“Rest in Peace Dean Stockwell. ? What an amazing actor. He always had a mischevious glint of humor in his eyes. I was honored to work with him in the pilot for “Quantum Leap” at @NBCUniversal along with Scott Bakula. #deanstockwell“
Bilge Ebiri:
R.I.P. Dean Stockwell, a great actor who never met a scene he couldn’t steal.
