  I think of him as Doc from The Love Boat, but that works too.

      You were not alone in that belief. Someone else said the same thing. His name was Max Wright, incidentally. Sadly, he passed away in 2019. He is occasionally confused with Austin Pendleton, Max from The Muppet Movie, who has the same name as Max Wright, which doesn’t help. To make things even more confusing, they were once in the same movie- Simon, which came out in 1980. Austin is, thankfully, still with us.

    My favorite role was Baron von Butcher.

    Did some Googling and found he was in a sketch in a 1994 episode of Saturday Night Live that was a TNG / Love boat crossover.

    But I can’t find a clip on YouTube!

    Ten Forward needs this!

    Excuse me, but would the star of 101 episodes of ALF and 15 episodes of Misfits of Science sink this low?

    Don’t answer that.
