Like your dad, you were charismatic and cunning on screen.
You were especially intense as "Charlie X" on classic "Star Trek", while making your mark in "The Time Tunnel" (as Billy the Kid), "The Invaders"; "The Six Million Dollar Man"; "Bonanza"; "The Big Valley"; "The Naked City"; "Route 66"; "Quincy"; "Columbo"; and "Combat!"
Monster buffs appreciate you for your lead in "Beware! The Blob" (aka "Son of Blob"), but let's not downplay your presence in "The Spectre of Edgar Allan Poe" (where you perfectly captured the moody essence of the eponymous author); "Evil Town"; "The Devonsville Terror"; "If Don Juan Were a Woman"; "Eve" (aka "Eve in the Jungle"); " Olivia" (aka "A Taste of Sin"); "Hex"; "The Ceremony"; "The Happening"; "Ensign Pulver"; "Road to Salina"; "Killers Three"; "The Passover Plot"; "The War Wagon"; "Young Billy Young"; "The Savage Seven"; "Gone with the West"; "Hambone and Hillie"; "Agliok and Blubbo"; "Angkor: the Cambodia Express"; and "The Man from O.R.G.Y." (aka "The Real Gone Girls"); as well as a groovy cameo in "Easy Rider".
You wove placidity with raw nerve, Mr. Walker, making your portrayals empathetic and credible. This makes you one of the last of a distinguished, vanishing breed and ensures that your nuanced accomplishments will be remembered and praised well into the future.
