Actor Gary Collins has died, according to CNN

http://www.cnn.com/2012/10/13/showbiz/gary-collins-obit/index.html?hpt=hp_t3

The obit lists his works as including "Charlie's Angels" and "Fantasy
Island" but I never saw him in those. I'll remember him best as the bumbling
yet lovable captain of the Excalibur in the first episode of "Crusade" (the
only episode I ever watched). He was hilarious, especially when he muttered
his catchphrase, "Whatchoo talkin' 'bout, Galen?" He cracked me up.

I guess he will never get those TPS reports now.

I think you are confusing Gary Collins with Gary Cole. It was Gary Cole
that starred in 'Crusade' and 'Office Space'. There is about a 20 years
different in age between the two.

That's a joke, son. It was actually William Shatner.

Once Upon A Time,

Close, but William Shatner wasn't in "Office Space". He was in "Space Trek".
