TurboFool Did you get to meet him during filming?Seemed like he was a nice man. Big regret never going to see him when he came to Melbourne in 2013. RIP

RIPDeanStockwell He was such a great actor. So many memorable roles. The most memorable for me were Al on Quantum Leap, Doctor Yueh in Dune, the Defense Secretary in Air Force One, & Cavil in Battlestar Galactica. Also his Ep's in Stargate SG1, StarTrek Enterprise, & NCIS NOLA.
One my favorite shows. Great actor. ❤️🏆☹️
Not Al! I just saw him on an episode of NCIS: New Orleans and thought how nice it was to see him again.
Dean Stockwell in Long Day's Journey Into Night is 2nd best performance by a young supporting actor of all time, IMO. Only surpassed by his castmate & brother in same film Jason Robards. 🙌🏻 RIPDeanStockwell film
😭😭😭 I loved him as Sam.
RIP Dean. 😢 Thanks for the fond memories.
So sad! ☹
Started a Quantum Leap marathon in memory of him, he was great as Al and he appeared in an episode of Star Trek Enterprise as a the head of a prison in all but name, he was really good in the episode as well
Rip. Thank you for being so good in Quantum Leap, loved that show so much xx
Awww man RIP
MrJonCryer Referenced in his obituary is Robert Dean Stockwell was also an artist.
Very sad. One of my favorite actors
EvanSmith2 A fine actor. RIP Dean.
The guy that's always everywhere and you recognize him. May he rest in peace
NerdBurgerCraig
Quantum Leap was a big part of my childhood. I much preferred it to cartoons despite not always understanding what the show was about. But I always thought Al was the coolest. Rest in peace Dean Stockwell.
Dr. Yueh and Howard Hugh's.
RIP
Fantastic actor, so many great roles - I always remember his performance as Dr Wellington Yueh in the 1984 version of Dune.
Phil_Lewis_ So sorry. I Grew up with him. I am 74. Many movies, even a western. Condolences to his family, his friends, and his fans.
Oh how sad. I always enjoyed him. Loved him in Quantum Leap. So sad.
No not Al 😭 I'm sorry for your loss ScottBakula I made this small tribute 😢 quantumleap DeanStockwell Al Alcalavicci sambeckett
He was great in everything! I remember him playing an evil robot in the Battlestar Galactica reboot saying the memorable line: “There are too many humans, if we just reduce their numbers to a few thousand they will be a lot more manageable!” RIP Dean Stockwell
😞 RIP ❤️
DanikaXIX man, what are we going to do without Cavill to get us right with our gods? (Battlestar Galactica reference). Dean will truly be missed.
Not his earliest film, those came in 1945, but I’ll always think of him as Nick Charles Jr when he appeared in Song Of The Thin Man with Myrna Loy, William Powell and Asta. RIP little fella. 😢 TCMParty
Best show of the early 90’s with an amazing theme
He was so great in every role. RIP
He was a classic hollywood actor. One of the last if his kind. Just watched 1984 Dune again. Good to be reminded of all of the roles he inhabited. I’ll always think of him as a wise cracker.
Enjoyed his performances in Quantum Leap. May his memory be a blessing to family and friends.
Rest peacefully, Dean. Thanks for being such a masterful entertainer.
RIP. Dean was so great and such a memorable voice and demeanor. 😞
Good god this man deserves so much more recognition than he ever received in life. I encountered his amazing talent watching Battlestar Galactica, then Blue Velvet, then Quantum Leap and it kept going on and on. He was also an avid environmentalist. RIP to a true legend. ❤️
Nobody smoked a cigarette like Dean Stockwell. RIP.
ShCoBro wow D-Stock was 85
RIP, sir.
RIP I loved that show. He was great too in StephenKing 'The Langoliers'
I was going to say 'Wild at Heart.' But that was because I thought Dean played the character Reggie in blackface. Thought that my whole life. Until I looked it up just now and learned Reggie was played by Calvin Lockhart.
RIP Al 🙏🏾
RIP Dean, thanks for the fun !😭
MrJonCryer A true Legend with a career going as far back as 1945. He will be missed.
💔
He had such a wonderful, expressive, memorable face. RIP.

patrick_phila may his journey through eternity be full of joy. I remember him so well.
May he rest high among the stars. I feel like watching The Langolers or BSG right now. He was great in everything he did. I always loved him in Quantum Leap when I was a kid and would fake sleeping to watch with my parents. RIP
The Boy with Green Hair.
I was just watching him in Columbo; he was older than I thought.
Oh how tragic. And last night the tv were showing clips of Quantum Leap and I thought how good he was in the series. I used to love the show. I also remember him as a great singer, if my memory serves me right. R.I.P. Dean. Never forgotten.
I loved him as an actor he was such a talent.
R.I.P Dean Stockwell.
🕊️
Condolences to his family & fans! R.I.P. Sir!
A ta;ented child actor, also. Anchors Aweigh, with Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra. The Secret Garden.
Sad
i will definitely miss this person. i wish him a peaceful transition into his next life.
I would never have thought he was 85. He must have looked after his health very well.
RIP
Nobody puts an end to my channel surfing like Dean Stockwell. I’ll watch anything he’s in. RIP
he made the final leap ....... rip
Damn….Quantum Leap was my show! Rest easy, Dean Stockwell. OhBoy
RIP

Don't forget the BSG reboot. He was excellent as a Cylon
Seems a bit rough remembering him for quantum leap.
abrwnigrl RIP Dean Stockwell 🙏🏻 I loved Quantum Leap it was one of my favourite shows.
Lousy news RIP Dean
damn rest in peace and thank you for your characters and the memories. DeanStockwell
Quantum Leap quickly became my favorite show when it first aired, thanks in no small part to him. RIPDeanStockwell
Aww, man. What a great actor! R.I.P. Mr. Stockwell. See you in the movies.
awwwwwwwwwww :( I literally just saw him in a rerun of NCIS New Orleans.
How is the word Cylon not mentioned in this headline?
Awe! He was in my all time fav Married to the Mob
He was also great as Brother Cavil on Battlestar Galactica.
Aww man. Loved him in QL, also the langoliers. Rip
As person, as a filmmaker, 'Quantum Leap' changed everything for me. It was one of the prime reasons I chose the life of a storyteller... I am very sad today. Be at peace, dear AL.
RIP DeanStockwell
'RIP 🙏' Dean Stockwell 😢 💔 🙏 😪 🕊 😔

lynnemthomas RIP
Sad to hear Dean Stockwell has passed. He was a cool actor. Will be missed.
RIP🙏
Been watching QuantumLeap again (up to season 5) and loving Admiral Al Calavicci all over again. I know he had many other memorable roles but this is the one I always remember him for. RIP Dean Stockwell, you’ll be missed 💔
Too bad he died from that vaccine 😢
I always got him and Dean Jones confused.
Spursman78 ☹
So sad to hear this. Quantum Leap shaped my idea of storytelling. I still think about the POW storyline and how Sam could have saved Al from that fate but it wasn’t the mission. Pathos. Great actor. RIP Dean Stockwell.
Rip he was a good actor
RIP Dean Stockwell, thank you for your work. I Will remember you as a Al in Quantum Leap
Sad. I remember his ATeam episode well.
Bellesario, not Bellesatio.
Damn....
He will be missed.
This is so sad to hear! I really enjoyed the shows he was in and his performances in them!
RIP Doctor Yueh....remember the tooth
I loved him in 'Paris, Texas'.
OMG I looooooooooove him on QuantumLeap. I was just talking about it! I also really liked him in Married to the Mob... RIPDeanStockwell 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿💗 p.s. watch Quantum Leap for free on nbc!
Sadly weve lost the boy with green hair. Forever be remembered as Al from Quantum Leap. A role he and Scott were robbed of finishing by NBCUniversal Ghostbusters lost Ramis, never too late. Rest in Peace Dean and Thankyou
How sad. Loved his character in Quantum Leap ❤
A brilliant yet under-used actor.
Kris_Sacrebleu Stockwell was one of the very few child actors who could truly act. He was a natural🙂
😔😔
I watched a few episodes growing up a strange but awesome show I loved Al
Aw.
_PrettyOk_
85?
Al! 😭
Imagine having a film career that spanned 7 decades only to be described as ‘Quantum Leap’ Star. The man starred opposite Katherine Hepburn! He was in David Lynch and Wim Wenders movies! And he was a famous child actor before all that.
I honestly thought that he was already dead....
Such a unique man
Rip
85 is a full life. He was in a lot of great movies - RIP
sasyecat Oh, no!
Aw, man.....
Noooooooooo!
DarylSurat Here’s to your FUCK Dean! RIP!!!
So sad to hear. Quantum Leap was his best. He also played secretary of the navy in JAG
BeingBoycie I’m actually rewatching quantum leap over the last few weeks only a few days ago watched the episode M.I.A an episode I think really shows his acting chops . Brilliant actor who I loved for quantum leap and his collaborations with DAVID_LYNCH
Loved him in Quantum Leap! RIPDean 😔
Aw man. I loved Quantum Leap!!!
We love him so much. My grand children recently started watching Quantum Leap so he is on TV daily in my house. He will be missed.
RIP. You were one of my favorite Cylons!
RIPDEAN
I was watching Enterprise and I caught the episode where Dean was a guest. It brought a smile to my face seeing dean standing next to Scott Bakula. You will be missed.
Always enjoyed his work.
RIP. Really enjoyed him in Quantum Leap & so many other performances throughout his long career.
MapleleafCameo 💔💔💔
Man, I was hoping he would make an appearance in NCIS New Orleans when it was on
Rip Dean
BeingBoycie RIP ❤️
Rip Dean Stockwell for all that you done on the screen to me you'll always be fondly remembered as Al QuantumLeap best episode being the one with Beth ❤

One of my first, probably inappropriate, crushes as Al in Quantum Leap, and an absolute babe in his youth.
RIP

Another spoilt childhood memory. RIP.
Sad to see that Dean Stockwell has passed away. First thing I saw him in was The Boy With The Green Hair, when I was wee. My kids and I loved him in Quantum Leap, which we all watched every week. He was great in everything I ever saw him in. My thoughts are with his loved ones x
I was just thinking about him, such a wonderful talent we lost. R.I.P to one of mine and my mother’s favorites. May the gods grant you rest and thank you for all the years.
RIP feller, for me Quantum Leap, Beverly Hills Cop 2 are my two big memories in your long acting career. Annnnnnnd you asking for the “swirl” was creepy as 😂😂
BeingBoycie Loved him in Battlestar Galactica
Rest in peace Mr. Stockwell
Janet Jackson is somebody that I was going to pick not to know.

PurpleWOrange 😭
gavinsblog Quantum Leap was horrible conservativist bullshit.
F
I am at an absolute loss as to why “Star Wars 85” appears in this headline Also did anyone proof read this?!
Quantum Leap has learned me a lot about life and how to treat people with respect and accept people for who they are it was a part of life when I was younger, RIP DeanStockwell
The Secret Garden 1949.
_wunderwood_ I enjoyed watching him what a loss. ❤️
Aww Rest In Peace. I knew him as Al 😞
Nooooooo, RIP Dean
Al made the final leap home
Nicky Jr!
Ziggy says there's a 100% probability that he'll be missed❤️
Quantum Leap was one of my favorite shows growing up. My first episode is this one here where Al was a pow in Vietnam Rest well sir
Very sad news RIP Dean 🙏
Quantum Leap being the best show ever, may be the only thing my brother and I have agreed on in 40 years. RIP Dean
That's a shame. I remember him in one of my favourite films The Langoliers, good actor RIP.
So very sad!
Great character actor, never got the acknowledgement or the roles he deserved
Man I grew up watching quantum leap… 85 is a long life tho rip
Damn. RIP, Dean Stockwell! Will always remember you as Al on 'Quantum Leap'. You were always entertaining!
Noooo😱😱
God bless you sir. Al always made me smile and I always felt you got the rough end of the stick in Columbo.
A candy-colored clown they call the sandman Tiptoes to my room every night Just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper Go to sleep, everything is alright
FNstrongvoice RIP Dean Stockwell ~ ~ Thank you 🙏🏻✨
Respect.
😪RIP
Blessings to all his family. It's such a shame to lose such a great actor from my youth :( RIP Dean . . .
Oh boy
I have to say this is one of the celebrity deaths this year that makes me saddest. You were one of the great ones Al, you will be missed :(
Why did he carry a lot of dusters in his pocket?
Oh that is just creepy. Just yesterday I was thinking how could they reboot Quantum Leap.
Oh, boy! Not Al 😞
Nooo! I adored him as Al in Quantum Leap, even more than Sam. He brought such humanity to Al, who could have come off as crass, but instead came across as wounded and vulnerable. He was especially unforgettable in the episode with Beth...💔💔💔😭😭😭
Rest in Peace
Brilliant actor. Was addicted to watching Quantum Leap. RIP Dean Stockwell.
R.I.P mate. It's your time to leap home.
Great actor 🙏🏽
😢
RIP Al, first person who I thought made cigars look cool
KMurphyIndep Rip
That’s a shame . A great actor .
Oh man, Rest in Peace. 😔
HIS NAME WAS DEAN, BUT WE ALL KNEW HIM AS AL, RIP.
Terrific actor, all the way back to the 40s when he was a kid 💕
Remember the tooth.
