Scott Bakula, who starred alongside Dean Stockwell in
the cult 1990s cult series
Quantum Code
, paid him a heartfelt tribute.
“I loved him very much and I was honored to know him.
He made me a better human being, ”he said in a lengthy Instagram post, before mentioning that they“ have become very close ”over“ five very intense years ”.
The actor recalled the benevolence of his elder, “dear friend and mentor”, who had started his career at the age of 9: “Having been a famous child actor, he had a weakness for all the young actors who came to our set.
He was very protective of their rights and safety and always made sure they were okay.
Her warm response to the children made us all aware of the situation and become better caregivers ourselves.

A work ethic
Donald Bellisario, who directed Dean Stockwell in
Quantum Code
, recalled some great times for Deadline with the late actor.
“Dean and I were both in our fifties when I hired him to play the mischievous Al Calavicci hologram in
Quantum Leap
.
He had just been nominated for an Oscar for his role in
Widow but not too much
when our series launched.
His friends in the industry all wondered why, at the height of his career, he had chosen to do television, ”he said, admitting to having also asked him the question.
The answer came, cash: “Work is work and I have a family to support.
"This did not prevent him, remembers the director, to have fully invested in his role:" With Scott Bakula, Dean established a work ethic for the rest of the actors in the series.
