Barry Morse

Barry Morse will always be Lieutenant Gerard to me, the relentless pursuer who gave The Fugitive its moral tension for four seasons. There's a particular skill in making an antagonist compelling rather than merely hateful, and Morse had it in abundance, later bringing the same gravitas to Dr. Bergman in Space: 1999. What impresses me most is his breadth: a British-Canadian who acted, directed, wrote, and authored, working steadily across stage and screen until his death in 2008 at 89. Long, deep, versatile careers like his are the kind I find most worth celebrating.
