Vale – Warren Stevens

Warren Stevens, the actor who appeared in the sci-fi cult classic Forbidden Planet, has passed away. Mr Stevens played the character of Doc alongside Leslie Nielsen in the film, one of the many ill-fated characters killed by an invisible monster prowling the planet. While he never achieved fame as a film star, Stevens did appear in a number of low grade efforts, including Phone Call From A Stranger, Nellie and Gorilla At Large. His primary vocation was in television, and he guest starred in a huge number of shows through the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s. Among the serials he made appearances in were Perry Mason, The Man From UNCLE, The Mod Squad, Mission: Impossible, Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea, Star Trek, Gunsmoke, Bonanza, Rawhide, and most recently in a 2006 episode of ER.

Mr Stevens passed away in Los Angeles on March 27th, aged 92.

“Some people say I like films. Those people are wrong. I *love* films.” – Me. I said this.

Rodney has been writing about films for well over two decades, appreciates a good wine, the love of his wife and kids, and the affection of his dog and cats. He has a fondness of cheesy 90’s action and classic Hollywood, hates that physical media is disappearing, and wishes somebody would make a high-budget series of The Neverending Story.
