Not long after learning that Jacob Within died; now we've lost a 3rd voice actor.
RIP Caliban / Professor Hagen.

Wow, those were two quite different voices from one guy.

Resurrecting an old thread, but having met Al Matthews due to his role in Aliens, I only learned he voiced Star Fleet a few months ago.
When I met him in London back in 2007 I was on a mission to confirm for my friend that he was uncredited in Spies Like Us.
He indeed was. But to know he was uncredited in Star Fleet breaks my heart. I missed out telling him how much I love the show.
Jay Benedict is another one, but never got to meet him.
I saw Mark Rolston was in Tulsa a few months ago so made the short drive up there.
Also got to email Constance Gregory to thank him for his work shortly after.
Sadly when a show gets to this age...those who made it real for us just aren't going to be around much longer

I was thinking about this the other day.
It must be a great sadness to their families that a lot of actors from the shows our childhood are no longer around, and it's disappointing for the fans as well.
But at the same time, these people worked on a lot of projects (Star Fleet is just one example) that will live on for a very long time.
With Star Fleet, 40+ years on, people are remastering the show and upscaling it and working on projects related to it.
So, for one thing, I hope they find themselves in a better place than here, and for those of us who are here, they've left us with a lot of enjoyment that will outlive them by a long stretch.
