Sad news. Kevin Riley was one of my favorite small parts in all of Trek. And Hyde's philosophy in life seemed like a good one.

RIP

I really liked the Riley character and that was due in large part to Hyde's performance.

RIP.

RIP.

My sentiments exactly, too.

Ever since I was a kid, I've found the "I'll Take You Home Again, Kathleen" segment to be utterly hilarious.

RIP.

Sad news indeed. Rest in peace.

Condolences to his family.

This is awful.

I admired the direction Mr. Hyde took in his life.

I don't know if this was in the late 1970s or when, but I've heard that he sometimes sang "Kathleen" for the fans at conventions. You just know he was a nice guy.

A character I wished we had seen more of in the series. Hyde was great in that role. RIP.

Agreed on all counts.

They brought him in for a small convention in my town around '96 or '97. Although he didn't really talk about Star Trek much, he was a VERY nice fellow who I got to talk with a bit earlier and who remembered my name for the Q&A later.

Now it's Kathleen's turn to take him home.

Rest in peace.

Very sad to hear this news. It's been a shitty, shitty year for TOS fans.

It probably says a lot about Hyde as an actor that he was able to turn two guest appearances into such a memorable character.

Rest in peace, good sir.
