#GeorgeSegal passed away yesterday, and in addition to the huge body of on screen work he left behind, including #whosafraidofvirginiawolf #owlandthepussycat #lookwhostalking, series like #justshootme @thegoldbergsabc, he did an animated series with me in when I first got to LA in the mid 90s, #JonnyQuest #realadventuresofjonnyquest . He played the title character’s father, #DrBentonQuest and I played his adopted son, #Hadji. Every Thursday, for a year and a half, between recording episodes, George, myself, @ripfighter Robert Patrick, @jdrothofficial, #FrankWelker, the shows writer/producer Peter Lawrence, and the Voice Director @kriszimmermansalter would go for lunch at the Hollywood Cantina just up the street from #hannabarbera . As a #youngactor I would ask George advice about Hollywood, and these #wordsofwisdom, I still tell young actors today… #RIPMRSEGAL

#TBT to when #Hadji was an early advocate of #racialequality and #stopasianhate alongside #GeorgeSegal as #DrQuest on the 90’s version of #JonnyQuest #realadventuresofjonnyquest … this is a follow up to my post yesterday about working alongside such an #iconic and legendary actor. #RIPMRSEGAL
