Why is this news?
We pause, sadly, in memorium of his fine performance in that file film, Terror From The Year 5000.
R.I.P.
Oh yeah, the guy with the flat-top in TftY5000.
Thrifty must be new around here…
By the way, that was “Dr. Robert Hedges”, not “Hodges”. Because I’ve watched the episode an absurd number of times, I’ve burned into my feeble brain the riff confusing his name with the homonymic “Robert Hegyes”, who played Juan Epstein on “Welcome Back, Kotter”:
[Establishing shot of museum office door: “DR. ROBERT HEDGES / CURATOR”.]
Mike: … and former sweathog.
(Sometimes I think ”MST3K” riffs are all that’s left in there. :???: )
That episode of Star Trek TNG where Edward “Ward” Costello plays an admiral infected with a nasty little alien creature, causing him to beat the snot out of Riker, Worf and a few others, is one of my favorites. There’s no other episode quite like it in the whole seven years of the show and Mr. Costello turned in a great performance as both the “nice” admiral and the “nasty, possessed” admiral.
TNG and MST3k… What a great man.
So Long… I’ll remember you.
I’m with Mr. B(ob). I loved TNG, but there are still only a handful of episodes I can remember vividly, and the episode Costello was in is one of them. Great episode.
RIP Edward.
Wow- that is fantastic, I am watching my DVD set of TNG right now (in between MST3K and The Wire)- I would like to know BTW- how many fans of MST are also fans of “The Wire?”
Ward Costello was also in an earlier TNG episode, “Coming of Age,” which led into “Conspiracy.” His character, Adm. Quinn, suspected in that one that something weird was going on in Starfleet.
You will be missed Adm. Hedges.
I love his son’s music.
You are also a couple of weeks behind John Carradine’s passing. Could you do this – a posting for him – on the main screen? He only was the mad scientist in The Unearthly, among other things.
@12:
Um, John Carradine died over 20 years ago. It was his son, David, who died recently.
