Obit: Lloyd Bochner @ 81

C

CrankyYankee

(From the NY Times)

Lloyd Bochner, a classically trained actor who played suave heroes and villains for more than 50 years in theater, television and film, died Saturday at his home in Santa Monica, Calif. He was 81.

He had a leading role in "Dynasty" as Cecil Colby, the hero's rival, in the 1981-82 season.

In his most memorable television role, Mr. Bochner starred as Michael Chambers in the famous 1962 "Twilight Zone" episode "To Serve Man." Chambers and his assistant are decoding experts in charge of translating a book given to Earth by visiting extraterrestrials. The assistant learns that it is a cookbook, but is too late to save Mr. Bochner's character from boarding a spaceship and heading toward becoming an alien meal.

Speaking of that "Twilight Zone" episode, it was referenced in "The Naked Gun 2 1/2" in which he also starred.
