"Gary Graham 1950-2024"
 
   Gary Graham, best known as Detective Matt Sikes in the TV version of Alien Nation and Ambassador Sovol from Enterprise passed away Monday from a cardiac arrest.

‘Star Trek’ star Gary Graham dead at 73: ‘This was sudden’

Michael C. Fortner
"Maxim 37: There is no such thing as "overkill".
There is only "open fire" and "I need to reload".

While I liked Robot Jox, it's not quite "best known for" material IMHO

I will remember him best for the moment in Alien Nation (immortalized in the opening titles) where Sikes goes completely non-linear and punches the shit out of the inside of his car while screaming with rage. I wonder how many takes that required, and how badly damaged his hand was by the time they were through...

I adore that scene both for that and for George just giving the whole "hey, whatever helps, man" vibe in the scene.

https://youtu.be/H2moPShy3Kk?t=94 is the scene, for those that (sadly) don't know it.
