He'd not been well for a while. He'd had a couple of strokes a few years back and lost a chunk of his memory. Quantum Leap is a great show, and I was making my way back through it. It is a shame. If you aks my gran she'll tell you 85 is no age.

Dean Stockwell has passed away. Absolutely loved his part in Quantum Leap, very sad news.

Great proofing in that article.

Stockwell’s career spanned 70 decades

I mean I knew he's been around a while but...

Joking aside he has been acting legitimately since the 40s:

I looked him up only this weekend. Mrs Onyx is a huge Quantum Leap fan and will be devastated. I understand in the past few years he's been quite poorly with Alzheimer's. Always a high point when you see one of his cameos - good fun in the 1984 Dune for example.

Sad about Dean Stockwell, had a fascinating life dropping out of entertainment to join a hippy commune and accomplished artist too https://taos.org/dean-stockwell/ amongst other things. 

Absolutely glorious as a bad guy or unhinged character, great in Married to the Mob, and delicious as Brother Cavil in the Battlestar Reboot aside from the roles mentioned. Turns up in all sorts of stuff and was always a pleasure to watch.
