I would love to hop in a TARDIS and see him in WSS as Riff.

He was sensual in the same smoky fashion as Suzanne Pleshette. Loved his bod and Mysterious Island.

Did he sleep with Robbins for WSS? Weren't there a few cute Broadway dancers at that time who could do Riff?

Thought he died back in the 80s during the AIDS epidemic.
