Yea, I remember that 2 parter, there's another Iconic Actor amongst the old timers, too, isn't there?

Crabbe was in the 2-hour Buck Rogers episode "Planet of the Slave Girls." It also featured Jack Palance, Roddy McDowall, and two Irwin Allen series regulars, Don Marshall from Land of the Giants and Robert Dowdell from Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.

Ah, yea, Jack Palance was the other one I was trying to think of (Forgot about Roddy McDowell, but, then he was in everything during this time period, and I don't know Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea or Land of the Giants well)

Mark Lenard was also in Season 2, Episode 2 Journey to Oasis, as Zykarian Ambassador Duvoe, who for some reason could detach his head.

It's a natural enough ability. I'm certain it evolved as a defense against the dreaded Walking Guillotine Plants.

Is Buster Crabbe still alive?

Is Buster Crabbe still alive?

Passed on in 1983 at the age of 75. If he was still with us, he'd be 104.

Crabbe gets associated w/the Larson version due to his guest starring part in "Planet of the Slave Girls II", though he is credited in the ep as "Brigadeer Gordon" (a reference to his other famous serial part).

Just saw that recently. It was a really nice touch having Crabbe return. From Henry Silva to Jack Palance, BR has had its fair share of great character actors.
