In addition to his long career he dealt with this.
Fried was a strong supporter of the fight against AIDS. His 5-year-old son Zack died of AIDS in 1987; born prematurely with severe medical issues, he was given 27 blood transfusions, one or more of which turned out to be tainted with HIV. The Fried family produced a line of T-shirts adorned with Zackās drawings, proceeds of which were donated to AIDS fundraisers.

I think the only thing Iāve seen her in was The Poseiden Adventure. What I mostly recall was she was the only actor there who didnāt ham it up and chew up the scenery.

Ha! Thanks to him and a Christmas shipment of Beanos from family in Scotland, I learned of the existence of the Daleks in the Sixties, over a decade before I watched Doctor Who on TV. (Iām sure The Doctor was in the panels somewhere, but he didnāt register like the toilet plunger robot things.)

Belzer, who died Sunday, was of particularly notable influence, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center. His long-term role as a sex crime detective lent him particular credibility to his fans, while he espoused anti-government theories through his multiple books, including one titled āUFOs, JFK, and Elvis: Conspiracies You Donāt Have to Be Crazy to Believe.ā
āHeās got a megaphone, no question about that,ā Robert Thompson, the director of the Bleier Center for Television and Popular Culture at the Newhouse School of Public Communications, Syracuse University told SPLC. āAnd, as a mainstream actor, he enhances the credibility of someone like Alex Jones by appearing on his shows.ā
The actor was a friend and fan of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, appearing on Jonesā show and selling his books through the podcast hostās website. Jones, who owes the families of Sandy Hook shooting victims $1.5 billion over defamatory conspiracy theories he spread through his show, also sells supplements on his website intended to ācreate superior male vitality in men,ā a claim that has not been verified by the FDA.
