dewlineIt's weird that I should pay attention to this obituary, but I've seen two of his TV performances that I know of across the decades.
First being the role of Ernst Queller AKA Ernst Linden on the Space: 1999 episode "Voyager's Return". Queller's role was written as being akin to Von Braun and company acquired by NASA via Operation Paperclip, a man haunted by past sins real and/or perceived.
His second performance notable in my mind was as Robert Picard, Jean-Luc's brother, in the Next Generation episode "Family". "Family" being an epilogue of sorts to "The Best of Both Worlds", the epic first Borg War in which Jean-Luc was forcibly weaponized against the Federation and its Starfleet by the Borg in the form of Locutus.
He'd done other work across the decades, I know. These were the two performances that I best remember noticing with particular gratitude.
