Regular readers to SciFiHistory.Net know all too well that I don't often acknowledge passings: it isn't that I don't see them as newsworthy ... it's that I try to keep my focus on celebrating life and the accomplishments that go along with them instead of just highlighting those who pass beyond this world into what ever comes after. Still, from time-to-time (and as time permits!) I post a few.
Morgan Woodward enjoyed a career in the entertainment industry that spanned four decades, and his was a face I can remember from so many properties of my formative years, including work aboard the classic Star Trek (two different appearances in differing roles), TV's sadly overlooked Planet Of The Apes series, the Logan's Run TV series, and the Roger Corman produced Battle Beyond The Stars (1980). One of his last professional gigs was work aboard Fox TV's stellar The X-Files, and I suspect Morgan's fans even recognized him, though his features had changed a bit. For what it's worth, I thought he always played roles where he was a bit of 'the heavy,' imposing upon those around him but never an imposition.
Though he's passed beyond, we'll always have his work to remember him; and there's certainly something to be said for that in these troubled times.
