6. BOOM - I loved the show as a kid, and was never even a particularly

huge sci-fi buff. Didn't really get into the original Star Trek until I was in college.

8. Outstanding role, terrific actor

You just thought he was going to combust spontaneously any second. Veiled menace, impeccably groomed.

11. He was utterly evil in that role.

His character was not so subtly gay.

His turn in Ed Wood alone, was a masterpiece.

RIP.

13. He had a poignant story in Rounders

Petrovsky: For generations, men of my family have been rabbis in Israel; before that, in Europe. It was to be my calling. I was quite a prodigy, the pride of my yeshiva. The elders said I had a forty-year-old's understanding of the Midrash by the time I was twelve. But by the time I was thirteen, I knew I could never be a rabbi.

Mike: Why not?

Petrovsky: Because, for all I understood of the Talmud, I never saw God there.

Mike: You couldn't lie to yourself.

Petrovsky: I tried. I tried like crazy. I mean, people were counting on me.

Mike: But yours is a respectable profession.

Petrovsky: Not to my family. My parents were destroyed, devastated by my decision. My father sent me away, to New York, to live with distant cousins. Eventually, I found my place, my life's work.
