'Quantum Leap' star Scott Bakula pays tribute to his dear friend, mentor and former co-star Dean Stockwell, who died Sunday at 85.
TV star Scott Bakula fondly remembered his “Quantum Leap” co-star Dean Stockwell on Tuesday as news of the on-screen admiral’s death made its way through spacetime., had become a TV veteran as he dropped in and out of Hollywood since he was a child and became a good friend of Bakula’s during their prolific careers.
“He had agreed to ‘read’ for the Network, I was already cast,” Bakula said of their first meeting. “We connected immediately and my career and my life were changed that day in [former NBC president] Brandon Tartikoff’s office. How lucky were we to get him? A few months later he would be nominated for an Academy Award for his role in ‘Married to the Mob,’ but he was stuck with us.
As a child, Stockwell starred in “Anchors Aweigh,” “Gentleman’s Agreement,” “Blue Velvet” and “The Secret Garden.” Because of that, Bakula said, the former child star had “a soft spot for every young actor” who came on the “Quantum Leap” set. The men later reunited on the small screen for a 2014 episode of “NCIS: New Orleans,” the CBS procedural that Bakula starred in until last May, when it ended after seven seasons.
