A roundup of TV people from in front of the camera and behind the scenes who have passed away.- Julius Carry: He was probably best known for his role as Lord Bowler on The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. Carry was also a regular on The District, Doctor, Doctor, and Do Over, and had recurring roles on Murphy Brown, Boy Meets World, and Two Guys, A Girl, and a Pizza Place. He also did guest spots on many other shows, including Columbo, Diagnosis Murder, Spin City, Caroline in the City, Earth 2, Grace Under Fire, Hill Street Blues, Empty Nest, Tales from the Crypt, Murder, She Wrote, Moonlighting, and many others. His last role was on an episode of The Unit. He also appeared in such movies as The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh, Moving, The Last Dragon, and The Man with One Red Shoe. He died of pancreatic cancer at age 56.
I was thinking about treating myself to a Brisco County marathon this weekend, and now I think that's a definite.
- Eva Pflug: She was a veteran actress who was in a number of movies and TV shows over the years and was probably best known for the 1960s German series Space Patrol (Raumpatrouille - Die phantastischen Abenteuer des Raumschiffes Orion), not to be confused with the U.S. series Space Patrol which aired in the 1950s. She died at age 79.

He died at age 78.
