Gil Gerard, the actor who became a childhood hero to many for his lead performances in the 1979 movie Buck Rogers In The 25th Century and its subsequent TV incarnation, died early Tuesday (Dec 16), his wife announced on social media. He was 82.
“Early this morning Gil – my soulmate – lost his fight with a rare and viciously aggressive form of cancer,” Janet Gerard wrote Tuesday evening on Facebook. “From the moment when we knew something was wrong to his death this morning was only days.”
