Hi all

Just thought I'd mention this as we're all genre fans here and if you don't know the name you'll certainly know the face!

A great, great character actor, I recently saw him in a rare good guy role in Mike Stone's film, Tigershark (1986), where he was so charming and kind it made you wish he'd had the chance to play more good guys.

Also, he was a wonderful foil to Roger Moore in Van Damme's underrated The Quest (1996).

Maybe it's because I've just seen both these films in the past few weeks, or perhaps beacuse he was in so many films that I loved as a youngster, but this news has really saddened me.

Man, too many good ones have gone this year!

Wherever you are, Mr Quade, thank you and goodnight.

He looks familiar. I don't think I've ever noticed him in any flicks. He was not just an actor, but also an aerospace engineer, and a lecturer. A learned man, I guess you could say.

Here's a clip from youtube from one of his lectures
