RIP, Roy Dotrice.
I liked him in everything I saw him in. That included dubbing Harvey Keitel in Saturn 3.

^ I knew they dubbed Harvey Keitel for some reason but didn't know whose voice they used until I read your post. Then it clicked. I enjoyed his roles in Space: 1999 and Babylon 5. Rest in peace Mr. Dotrice.
The man had a FABULOUS voice. RIP.
I gather his audio book recordings of the Game of Thrones novels, set a record for the number of different character voices performed by one person.
RIP.I'd probably seen him (or heard him) in a fair few things, but whenever his name is mentioned, it's Babylon 5 that comes to mind.
And Gabriel Byrne's father on the short-lived Madigan Men.

Remember when he awoke in that glass box that would take hundreds of years to get back to earth in Space 1999.......scary.

That was a particularly effective story, playing almost like a vintage "Twilight Zone" with the creepy twist ending.
The Commissioner "threatens" his way onto Christopher Lee's ship at gunpoint and rushes them through the "suspension" process. Because of this, he awakens only hours into the flight that will take decades. Realizing this, he thrashes in blind panic within his capsule (now effectively an impending "tomb"). His comlock transmits his pleas of anguish to Moonbase Alpha where the crew can do nothing but listen. The last scene presents Koenig reading the choice "Computer" made as to whom was least essential to the base and thus best suited to return to Earth. It was the Commissioner.
