    Thanks for letting us know, LG. I had just saw it on the news and was coming here to post about it.
    Kiel was one of my favorite guest stars from those days. One of the sweetest personalities you could ever have met.

    This is very sad. He brought a real sense of menace to his screen villany.

    And Loveless' assistant in the first season of Wild Wild West, amongst other roles.

    Is there a "tall" morph for M4 or Genesis out there?
