I think he looks like DAVID PATTERSON, the Turing award winner.

My favorite episode of TNG was the one where Q shows him what his life would be like if he had just been a mild mannered scientist and not taken risks and never ended up in command. “Tapestry” — Star Trek: The Next Generation, Season 6, Episode 15, originally aired February 15, 1993.

Tremendous loss. A thespian's thespian, through and through.

Make it NOT so

RIP a legend

That's terribly sad news. From his brilliant performances in TNG to his hilarious performance in Extras he was such an amazing actor who brought kindness and warmth to me whenever I watched him in anything. He introduced me to the magic of Shakespeare and also to the magic of being authentic and kind no matter how successful you are. A real British legend!

I have been meaning to start a rewatch of TNG, I guess now is the time.

I remember his Covid time videos in prospect park those made me happy

I enjoyed his character in the Showtime series Blunt Talk

Another huge piece of my childhood dies. Very sad, indeed. :(

I think all of us growing up in the 80s and 90s just don't realize that we probably lived in the most awesome time period in human history. Everything was just peak. Vibes, music, film, art, travel.

Now the OGs all die... and I look around and see nothing and no one to step into their humongous foot steps...

What an incredible actor. He will be missed.
