Rest in Peace, Dean Stockwell

Ziggy estimates there's a 100% chance I'm sad about this.
It was pretty cool that he got to be on a hit series later in this career again in the Battlestar Galactica reboot. |

One of my favorite character actors. He will be missed.

A 1,000 deaths are not enough for Yueh!
A 1,000 parts are not enough for Stockwell! |

The Boy with the Green Hair.

R.I.P.
I'll show some love for Human Highway, which he co-directed with Neil Young. Not a "good" movie by most standards, but an endearingly goofy cocaine-fueled mess for those partial to such things. Also features a Devo cameo. |

If memory serves, the first time I ever saw him was in a TV movie with Sandra Dee called The Dunwich Horror. The next time I saw him was in the Gene Kelly/Frank Sinatra musical Anchors Aweigh and he was a little boy! He was so good in that movie. Loved him in Long Day's Journey Into Night, Married to the Mob, Air Force One and that severely underrated TV show called Quantum Leap. Solid actor who had an impressive career...RIP.

Re: Rest in Peace, Dean Stockwell
I grew up watching this guy in stuff like Quantum Leap. It was really cool seeing him work with Bakula again as a guest star on NCIS: New Orleans. He will be missed.

A bit of trivia that's probably well known for fans, but Neil Young's "After the Gold Rush" was based on an unrealized film script by Stockwell. I have no idea what 'Mother Nature's Silver Seed' would have looked like on screen.
I double checked to make sure that she wasn't dead. Outside of obituary threads, arbitrary Debra is always welcome. |

I know that we lose some of our favorite celebrities all the time, but this is one of those that really hurts. I loved him in everything I saw him in, especially Anchors Aweigh and "Quantum Leap".
He will be missed. R.I.P. :( |

I've seen Dean Stockwell in various things and his generally likeability always seemed to shine through. I liked that about him. Even in Dune (1984) he was still likeable though his character Dr Yueh has done treachery.

I've loved Dean in film for as long as I've been aware of film, which is as is long as I could sit in front of a television set as a kid. The Happy Years (1950). If any of you haven't seen this movie, I highly recommend it. It's just a joy to watch him command the screen as a holy terror of a kid who is sent off to prep school by his parents, where he learns some order and respect, but at the hands of good people who seemingly are rough on him but not really. He makes friends quickly among the students. There is a great fight scene early in the film (he backs down from no one!) and a pancake-eating contest that is one for the ages. Can't recommend it enough. It was a long-time family favorite but not cloying in the least. It shows up on TCM from time-to-time.
Enjoyed him in Compulsion, The Dunwich Horror, The Failing of Raymond (TV-Movie), The Werewolf of Washington (a huge bomb but I loved it!), Paris, Texas (such a classic!), Dune (he was great in it no matter what critics thought of the movie. I loved it.), Blue Velvet, Married to the Mob, The Longoliers (a two-part Stephen King-based miniseries. The effects are horribly dated but the story is great and Stockwell easily steals the movie as the man who figures out what's going on, no matter how crazy it seems to others), McHale's Navy (yes, the bomb Tom Arnold movie, but I still dug Dean in it), Battlestar Galactica (the revival/rebooted TV-series where he played a supporting role). Strangely enough, I only watched a few episodes of probably his highest profile role on TVs Quantum Leap, but I enjoyed what I saw. I need to watch lots of other things he did. I'm hoping TCM will do a tribute day if they haven't already done it. Godspeed, Dean! |
Dean Stockwell tribute on TCM tomorrow at 6AM ET, showing in order Anchors Aweigh, The Green Years, The Mighty McGurk, The Happy Years, The Secret Garden, Kim, The Boy with Green Hair.
