FAREWELL, RICHARD HERD...
You were the iconic, treacherous poster boy for "V: The Final Battle", while finding time to charm Trekkies with your portrayals on "Star Trek: The Next Generation", "Star Trek: Voyager" and "Star Trek: Renegades".
You also visited such swell shows as "T.J. Hooker" (as Captain Sheridan--and with "Trek'"s Bill Shatner, no less); "seaQuest DSV" (as Admiral Noyce); "Quantum Leap"; "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"; "The A-Team"; "Starkey and Hutch"; "Hardcastle and McCormick"; "Renegade"; "The Rockford Files"; "Kojak"; "Hart to Hart"; "Dallas"; "NYPD Blue"; "Pacific Blue"; "JAG"; "M*A*S*H"; and of course, "Seinfeld" (as George's boss, Mr. Wilhelm).
On the movie scene, there was "Trancers"; "Schizoid"; "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari '05"; "InAlienable" (with "Trek'"s Walter Koenig); "I Married a Monster"; "Yesterday's Target" (with "Trek'"s LeVar Burton and Malcolm McDowell); "Lovely But Deadly"; "Wolf Lake"; "The Big One"; "The China Syndrome"; "All the President's Men"; "Fighting Back"; "F.I.S.T."; "The Onion Field"; "The Judas Project"; "Joseph: King of Dreams"; "Dog Days of Summer"; "Enola Gay"; "Ike"; "Confessions of a Pit Fighter"; "Gleaming the Cube"; "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil"; "The Mule"; "Private Benjamin"; "Deal of the Century"; "Summer Rental"; "Planes, Trains and Automobiles"; "Sgt. Bilko '96"; "A New York Christmas"; and "Hercules in New York".
You knew how to blend dark with light, humor with menace: a sign of a well-rounded, consummate actor, Mr. Herd, a performer worthy of utmost, deserved praise.
