You are 100% correct. Thanks for the heads up.
Sadly, we lost one. R.I.P. to Tom Troupe age 97. His wife of 59(!) years passed age 98 in '23. So together again.

Aw. Bye, Lt. Harold.
I was just coming to share this news. So sad; he was really good (and versatile) in a lot of shows. And yes, he was married to Carole Cook for a very long time. She was a really fun performer! I saw her in a revival of 70, Girls, 70 when she was in her 80s and she was still so full of élan.
Sad to bid farewell to Mr. Troupe.

David Frankham didn't get a call from Serling? He could be number one on that list! Kind of shows how hard it is to live to 100 -- with no living actor from any of those 3 shows currently that old. Hopefully soon.

Michael Forest got around, didn't he? He was in all three.
