  4. Hi Howard,

    You never disappoint, my friend. #7 is Professor Paradox from Ben 10 indeed. # 6 -- wow, I didn't even know that one, Joseph Bloom. That's not it, but I guess it's one I should have included!

    You are correct, sir! The first image in the gallery is of McCallum in that classic OL first season episode, "The Sixth Finger."

    Great job!

    Hi John, Is number 6 Seaquest? I don't recall the character name or episode, but I do remember David McCallum being on the show with David Morse (highly underated). Thanks again for a fun diversion!

  8. Doug:

    Yes!!! Number six is indeed SeaQuest DSV, the episode "Sea West." And I couldn't agree with you more about David Morse, a great actor (as is McCallum...).

    Great job!

    Hi, John,
    Just wondered if you received my post.

    #3 is Dr. Joel Winter, "Night Gallery", "The Phantom Farmhouse".

    I didn't see any pic of Dr. Joseph Bloom from VR5, but David had two other "Outer Limits" roles:

    Tone Hobart, "Forms of Things Unknown" from the first season of the original series, and

    Joshua Hayward, "Feasibility Study", from the 1997 episode of "The Outer Limits".

    For some reason, my LJ identity isn't being accepted, but it is kitty4940 on LJ.
