11. I still would rather watch reruns of Quantum Leap than half of the crap on TV today, and Dean Stockwell was definitely half the show’s appeal. RIP.

16. Loved him in Quantum Leap. Great show and he was an excellent character.

    I’m with you Wambam, I would rather watch QL reruns all the time than what is on TV today.

    God Bless us all!
