In 1975 he got the role of Paul Morrow in the series Moon Base Alpha 1 on the side of Martin Landau and Barbara Bain . He played, with one exception, in all episodes of the first season. When filming the episode The Infernal Machine , however, he had to have a cyst removed, which the makeup artist discovered by chance.
