As Major Don West, you had your patience tested to the hilt with the bumbling Dr. Zachary Smith, but the timeworn animosity only sealed your fate as a pop-cultural king, enough for you to secure an appreciated cameo in the 1998, Lost in Space remake.
Though Major West is significant enough to eclipse other roles, your career was flavored before and after Irwin Allen's perennial staple.
You were a regular on the ratings-winning Johnny Ringo, The Detectives, One Life to Live and General Hospital; and appeared on The Fugitive; Perry Mason; Adam-12; The Streets of San Francisco; Barnaby Jones; The Mod Squad; The Beverly Hillbillies; Dick Powell's Zane Grey Theatre; The Rifleman; The Rebel, The Virginian, the fad-ish Roller Boogie and the creepy, cult classic, Blue Sunshine.
You imbued every part with dignity, Mr. Goddard, and treated your fans with regal respect, proving yourself not only a remarkable individual on film, but more importantly, in person, where one's true worth has just as great a chance of touching the heart.
