While the name Morgan Jones may not exactly jump out at you, we can pretty much guarantee that if you’re a fan of vintage horror and science fiction, his face and his body of work will be instantly recognizable.

Variety reports that Jones, a character actor in TV and film, died in Tarzana, California, on January 13th. He was 84.

Jones amassed more than 170 television credits, appearing as a series regular in “The Blue Angels” in the early 1960s, “The Twilight Zone”, and recurring on Broderick Crawford series “Highway Patrol.” The actor also appeared in more than 25 feature films, including The Giant Claw, Forbidden Planet, and the 1957 cult classic Not of This Earth.

We here at Dread Central would like to take this time to offer our sincerest of condolences to Jones’ friends, family, and constituents. Thanks for the memories, kind sir. You’ll be missed.
