Gil Gerard passes away at 82 years old.

Fox News: Gil Gerard, actor who played Buck Rogers, dies at 82

Back when science fiction could be sexy, Gil Gerard was Buck Rogers. 

Gil Gerard wasn’t a great actor, and Buck Rogers in the 25th Century wasn’t a great TV show, but we liked it.  It was campy and had attractive actors, but no deep message or complex narrative.

Gerard was a working actor for nearly fifty years, but did nothing else of consequence. 

His lowest rated movie on IMDB is Reptisaurus, with a rating of 2.5.  I’m a little tempted to watch it in homage.
