[David Hedison dead at 92](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/david-hedison-dead-voyage-bottom-sea-actor-was-92-1226038)

When I think of David Hedison, his first role to come to mind is Captain Crane on _Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea_. Next, I think of _The Fly_. And I liked him as Felix Leiter in the Bond films.

In one Bond film, _ **License to Kill** _. Quite possibly the worst one in the series, which should have been put to rest long ago. ☹

I never watched _ **Voyage** _ much after the first season, but I remember really well the Cold War episode where Crane was wounded and hiding out in Venice. That was probably the best one in the series.

RIP, David.

Of course! :smack: The only actor to play Felix twice, prior to Jeffrey Wright.
