Aww, man.

RIP Paul Winfield. He was only 62. Died Sunday of a heart attack.

I can never think of him without hearing him intone: "Darmok & Gilad, at Tenagra." That was, imho, one of the best Trek eps ever filmed, in any of its incarnations.

He was one of my "Hey, it's THAT guy!" actors. You always knew if he was in something, it'd be worth watching.

Huh. I didn't know he was gay until I checked his IMDB entry just now.

Interestingly I never pegged him as gay when he was onscreen. But he narrated the tv show "City Confidential" and his delivery was extremely effeminate when heard without his physical presence, so I am less than shocked. He certainly was a good actor and will be missed.

I don't think I ever heard him without seeing him. Interesting.
