tomyamaguchi RIP ❤️🪦❤️

Oh, goodness! I watched it when I was a kid and it was one of my favourite TV shows. Rip 😞😢

He was an interesting man.

My heart shattered when I saw the news. Dean Stockwell will be missed.

RIP. I always liked him as an actor. Blue Velvet, Dune, and ofc Quantum Leap. Coincidently, I watched him in 2 Columbo episodes a few weeks back. He will be missed.

Ziggy mourns this day

RIP... 😢

One of the saving performances in the 80’s Dune. 🪦

Oh noo, Al 😞😞😞😞😞

I remember him best as Cavil aka Number One on Battlestar Galactica!

No not Al 😭 I'm sorry for your loss ScottBakula I made this small tribute 😢 DeanStockwell36 quantumleap DeanStockwell Al Alcalavicci sambeckett

RIP What an incredible range

NevadaWolf If you've never seen this, do.

He will always be Number One 🤖

Acyn I worked with Dean on 'Paris, Texas' and 'To Live And Die In L.A.' years ago and had many conversations with him. He described work in the studio system as a child and taking a sabbatical to find himself before returning to acting. An articulate and gentle soul. He will be missed

he'll always be peter fry, the boy with the green hair. first time i ever saw him.

DeathMetalV R.I.P. I didn't realize he was in this age bracket.

He was amazing in Battlestar Galactica.

Good program that

Condolences to his loved ones. 💔

He will be missed. SoSayWeAll SSWA BSG RIPDeanStockwell

RIP Dean x

One of Hollywood's original child actors, he was able to successfully transition to adult roles in blockbusters like Air Force One or popular tv series like Quantum Leap, but I'll always remember him as Colin opposite Margaret O'Brien in The Secret Garden.

Acyn Rest In Peace good sir

Top actor in plenty of good stuff, my thoughts go to his family.

So many great performances, especially the small ones. For some, he'll always be the guy lip-syncing Orbison's 'In Dreams' in Blue Velvet. He was memorable as Dr. Yueh in Lynch's Dune as well. His scene-stealing turn as Howard Hughes in Tucker was incredible!

Oh. Sad news. Such a great actor.

Good Columbo episode where he plays a musician under suspicion for a murder!

He was a fashion plate on ' Leap'. A great show.

violetmonarch No!!!! He was one of the greats!!! RIP 🙏🏽

I always enjoyed his work. RIP

Acyn 💔

May he RIP!

Dune (the old one), Quantum Leap, Battlestar Gallactica (the new one) and so much more. RIP Mr Stockwell.

I loved Dean in Quantum Leap particularly. RIP, you helped right wrongs.

And Blue Velvet. What a performance!

You mean Blue Velvet star

Such a gift to watch actors play serious roles and have some fun like he did with Married to the Mob ❤️

Great actor - loved him in Quantum Leap! Will be missed!

Ziggy says there’s a 100% chance of sadness

tmoyer09 RIP

Janet Jackson is somebody that I was going to pick not to know.

May He Rest In Peace 🙏

Acyn RIP

Brilliant as a neurotic killer in Compulsion opposite Bradford Dillmans psychopath

Very sad to hear this news…loved Quantum Leap RIP Dean

Acyn 💔 loved him in Battle Star Galactica.

75 years of those, making movies. A legend gone.

ziggy says...thanks for the memories..

He also inspired the incredible After the Gold Rush by Neil Young.

Or, if you are like me, you may know him as the Defense Secretary in 'Air Force One' with Harrison Ford.

No!!!!!

RIPDeanStockwell

DaFeenom 😢

I remember seeing The Boy with Green Hair and it made me a Dean Stockwell fan. He was always memorable, specific and he brought so much dimension to all his roles. I was sorry to read of his death. He was a real actor.

Ffs, that's the reboot out the window, RIP. What an awful week

He definitely made his mark.

So sad. RIP Dean. Now Everyone, go watch “Married To The Mob”.

JS1974_ How very sad, I loved Quantum Leap, despite the way the show ended R.I.P Mr. Stockwell 😪

cloneweb Oh bravo 😕

Here’s to your fuck, Frank.

“Dead” blunt. Gee whiz you blokes

TheOmegaGeek Well, f*ck

Nooooooooo

NO!!! I only learned a couple of years ago via tcm & BenMank77 that Dean had been one of the most successful child actors ever. At that point I had only known him from QuantumLeap. RIPDeanStockwell

I checked with Ziggy, and this has a 100% chance of being a bummer. A long and varied career filled with memorable roles. RIP.

ashleylynch
