James Darren

I see that actor/singer James Darren has passed away.

I can remember the first time I saw him ... in the movie Gidget Goes Hawaiian when I was 10. I thought he was so wonderful ;)



I didn't think about him again until I saw him on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. He played Vic Fontaine ...

a holographic representation of a 1960s-era Las Vegas Rat Pack–style singer and entertainer, as part of a program run in the holosuites at Quark's bar.



Sad to see he's gone.
