My Take
Gary Lockwood will always be Frank Poole drifting silently into the void of 2001: A Space Odyssey, and that single image is enough to secure his place in film history. I also love that he was Gary Mitchell in the second Star Trek pilot, so he is woven into two of the most influential science fiction properties ever made. Born John Gary Yurosek in Van Nuys, he came up the old studio way before landing those genre-defining roles. The detail that he starred in Jacques Demy's only American film, Model Shop, hints at a career with more range than the spaceman typecasting suggests.
