He also was turned into an insect in the original 'The Fly' and appeared as a CIA agent in a pair of James Bond films.

David Hedison, who starred as Captain Lee Crane on the 1960s ABC submarine series Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, died Thursday in Los Angeles, a family spokeswoman announced. He was 92.

The handsome actor also portrayed scientist André Delambre, who got turned into an insect in The Fly (1958) long before Jeff Goldblum ever did, and he played CIA operative Felix Leiter in the James Bond films Live and Let Die (1973) and Licence to Kill (1989).

RIP to an actor.

It's on Me TV at 2 AM Sunday mornings during a block of Irwin Allen sci-fi shows, one of the few times when it's actually on WBBJ 7.3 in Jackson, TN.

I once saw an interview with Richard Basehart many years ago. While he said
Hedison was talented, he also indicated that he was very, very difficult to work
with. He also indicated he had a very high opinion of himself.
