I got to be at a dinner back in 2002 where he was one of the guest. After the dinner they showed one of his Twilight Zone episodes. He was a very nice and gracious man to be there and share his experiences too. They also had Robert Picardo there who starred with Kevin McCarthy in the movie "Innerspace"
