RIP.  I loved Thunderbirds as a kid.  My favorite episode was when they were trying to move the Empire State Building, initially slated for destruction but the government wanted to preserve it, and two TV journalists were trapped when it collapsed.

He's in front on the right.  This is just a screenshot from the trailer but he had a couple of lines in the movie if I'm not mistaken.
