I remember him from Contact. He took Ellie's (Jodie Foster) spot on the rocket ship. It blew up. Then Ellie got to go on the next one. He played a good role of the mentor turned backstabber.

I am just in the middle of a "Picket Fences" rewatch (which I recommend to everyone: It's a thoughtful series from a more civilized time...).

RIP, Tom
The world will miss you.
