Mark Goddard has died. Best known for his role as Major Don West on iconic ’60s sci-fi series Lost In Space, Goddard was a staple of American TV during that era, appearing in shows like The Detectives, Barnaby Jones, Perry Mason, and more. Although his career slowed down after Lost In Space ended in 1968, Goddard continued to work steadily for the next several decades, before ultimately retiring from acting to complete his college degree and become a special education teacher.
After a few years of various guest star stints, Goddard was approached by Irwin Allen’s production company in 1965, offering him a role on Allen’s latest venture: A sci-fi take on Swiss Family Robinson. Goddard was originally hesitant to make the move into sci-fi, but was ultimately convinced by his agent, who reportedly told him “Take the money. Because nobody’s gonna see it and it’ll never sell.
