Actor Jay Benedict, perhaps best-known for his role in the British TV series “Foyle’s War,” died in Europe on April 4 due to complications arising from a COVID-19 infection. He was 68.
Fans of the Alien/Aliens movie franchise will remember him as Russ Jordan, the father of Newt and the first victim of the Alien infestation.
His connection to MST3K is fairly tenuous: Early in his career, Benedict did voices for the English language version of the movie in episode 314- MIGHTY JACK.
