RIP ALEXANDER DAVION...


You added western pep to such cinematic, television journeys as "Zane Grey Theater"; "Have Gun--Will Travel"; "Death Valley Days"; "Custer"; and "Charley One-Eye".


On the investigative/adventure scene, you left your stellar stamp on such series as "Gideon's Way"; "The Man From Moscow"; and "The Man Who Never Was"; along with a spiffy visit to television's original "The Saint". You were also Captain Greg Martin's virile voice in Gerry Anderson's "Thunderbirds are Go", as well as a guest star on the producer's popular "UFO". 


Fans of the weird and gritty relished your parts in "The Plague of the Zombies";  "Paranoiac";  "Incense for the Damned" (aka "Bloodsuckers"); "Hunchback of Notre Dame '66" (as Captain Phoebus); "One Step Beyond: To Know the End"; "Thriller: the Prediction"; and "Out of the Unknown: the Counterfeit Man", while exploitation connoisseurs celebrated your bold entrance in "Valley of the Dolls".


You epitomize cool sophistication right down the line, Mr. Davion: the sort of actor viewers can't help but admire, but alas, are now in decline. May your handsome persona continue to gladden, not only for your established fans, but those yet to arrive.
