Dead at 88. You didn't get any good lines in The Right Stuff either.

Charles Frank, biggest stuff he did was soaps and other assorted TV.  Not a big name.
In fact, I think he only had a couple lines in the Right Stuff.  As in two.

Too lazy to go check IMDB, but I think it was a guy named Charles Frank.

When I was little (and semi-conscious, say the early 70s) astronauts were great, wonderful, and amazing.  They went to the moon, they were in SPACE, and the future was limitless.  Hell, even Skylab was cool, even if the 2nd solar wing was fucked up.
