“#Scott Bakula Pays Tribute to ‘Quantum Leap’ Co-Star Dean Stockwell<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

Scott Bakula has spoken of his love for Quantum Leap<\/em> and Battlestar Galactica<\/em> actor Dean Stockwell who passed away on Sunday, November 7, at the age of 85.<\/p>\n

The two co-starred on the hit series<\/a> Quantum Leap<\/em> from 1989 to 1993, in which Stockwell played hologram Admiral Al Calavicci, best friend to Bakula\u2019s time and space-jumping Dr. Sam Beckett.<\/p>\n

Referring to him as a \u201cdear friend and mentor,\u201d Bakula recalled his first meeting with Stockwell at an audition for the show in 1988.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe had agreed to \u2018read\u2019 for the network, I was already cast,\u201d recalls the\u2019 NCIS: New Orleans\u2019<\/em> star in a statement to Deadline<\/a>. \u201cWe connected immedia<\/a>tely and my career and my life were changed that day. How lucky were we to get him?<\/p>\n

\u201cA few months later he would be nominated for an Academy Award for his role in Married to the Mob<\/em>, but he was stuck with us. Serendipity? All I know is, he never tried to get out or complain, he loved the role and the show and the rest was history,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Over the \u201cnext five, very intense years\u201d working together, the two grew very close, with Bakula recalling his kindness and passion for life. \u201cDean was such a passionate man\u2026about life, his work, his art (he was an amazing artist!), his family, all kinds of causes, people, music, the planet, cigars, golf, and on and on!\u201d<\/p>\n

He added how Stockwell always looked out for the well-being of child actors on set, having been one himself growing up. \u201cHaving been a famous child actor, he had a soft spot for every young actor who came on our set. He was very protective of their rights and safety and always checked in with them to make sure that they were ok.<\/p>\n

Bakula also recalled the actor\u2019s enjoyment of his 70-plus year career, and how he always announced his presence on the sound stage with a \u201cthe fun starts now\u201d and a trail of cigar smoke.<\/p>\n

\u201cI loved him dearly,\u201d said Bakula. \u201cAnd was honored to know him. He made me a better human being.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
