I don't want to be that guy but you could argue The Time Element was the first episode.

Doh, I just became that guy. Sorry.

Apparently, he was partnered with a man. I always heard he was gay, but didn't know he came out.

Such a fine actor. Great in TZ and "Police Woman", so many other projects.

RIP

I heard he was supposedly gay some while back, but he seemed to keep his personal life very private.

Can't blame him. He was pretty macho and handsome. Had he been outed as "homosexual" back in the day, it would've destroyed his career.

He was also in the pilot episode of Cannon.

Sad to hear that. Always liked him in Police Woman.

Yeah, for me he was the best part of Police Woman! Very fine actor, RIP.
