George Maharis RIP

BEVERLY HILLS, CALIF — Actor George Maharis, the star of TV’s “Route 66,” who went on to appear on “Fantasy Island” and other shows, died here May 24.

Maharis co-starred with Martin Milner in “Route 66,” and received an Emmy nomination for his role as Buz, a handsome beatnik-adjacent working class guy. Part way through the third season, Maharis left the show after being hospitalized for hepatitis.

Longtime MSTies will remember his role as Les Phillips in the movie in episode K13- SST: DEATH FLIGHT.

Variety has the story.

Thanks to Tim for the heads up.
