Ray Walston was a very talented actor. I loved him in the television series 'My Favorite Martian' with Bill Bixby. Fans of 'Fast Times at Ridgemont High' will always remember him as Mr. Hand. Ray had a busy career in his golden years (the mini-series 'The Stand' and television show 'Picket Fences', and from seeing him in interviews he was a very nice man. RIP Ray.
