Semi-OT: Still living actors, original "The Twilight Zone" (1959-1964)

[That Derek]

With the recent death of Orson Bean from the episode "Mr. Bemis," the following list reflects a "comprehensive" litany of still living "lead" actors from the original "The Twilight Zone" series (1959-1964). There are more than I could have named off the top of my head.

Reynolds is listed third in the cast list in the Zicree/Zone book right behind Jack Weston and John Williams.

Not the lead, but prominent in the story.

The point is that Burt Reynolds died September 6, 2018 so he should not be on a list of living actors. I agree that Burt would be considered a lead actor!

Mea culpa. I had forgotten Burt Reynolds had died.
