Jennifer asks:
Then Brandon asked:
Well, is ShoutFactoryTV too obvious? What do you think?  Canadian radio, television and film actor Doug Lennox died Nov. 28 (we don’t have details yet). He was 76. MSTies might remember he played The Captain in the movie in episode K20- THE LAST CHASE.
Lennox began his career in radio in 1965. He spent the ’70s at CBC Radio & Television. All during this time, he continued a successful second career both on-camera and as a voice-over actor in the commercial world of advertising. Perhaps his most enduring success was his radio series and the subsequent series of books under the title “Now You Know.” He also had a 35-year career on television and movies. Thanks to Timmy for the heads up. |
