I just now found out that on July 23, 2019, David Hedison passed away at the age of 92. Probably a moot point at this juncture, but considering Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea is one of my favorite series, I just had to mention it. RIP David Hedison.  :cry:

Moore died October 4.

The novelty record singles he did as Marvin were a hoot, especially "Metal Man" where he takes his sweet time answering his spaceship Captain's SOS call.
