RIP Charlie X

Wow. TOS has taken a few losses this week.

RIP.

Aw man, that’s rough. He had one of those really distinct faces, and he was great in everything I saw him perform in.

Aw, man.

He looked a lot like his father, who indelibly played Bruno in Strangers on a Train.

Charlie X to me epitomizes that particular vibe of first-half-of-first-season Trek, with its slightly free-wheeling style and greater emphasis on the overall crew rather than zeroing in on the Kirk/Spock/McCoy trinity.
