Gene Lindsey was an actor who appeared frequently on the New York stage and also in many nationally-televised commercials.

About a million years ago (actually, perhaps back in the mid-to-late 1970s) I was standing on the corner of Fifth Avenue and 50th Street, waiting for the light to change, when I noticed Mr. Lindsey also standing on the corner, talking to some other fellow there, about an upcoming audition of his for some commercial product.

I quickly recognized Mr. Lindsey from his many commercial appearances, but, quite honestly, it wasn't until the Sci-Fi Channel aired the 1840 Dark Shadows episodes many years later, that I realized that I had also seen Mr. Lindsey on the show (as Randall Drew) back in 1970.  Time maches on!  [hall2_smiley]

I found him very attractive and really liked his late night
confrontation scene with Terry Crawford's Edith.
Both actors were cooking in that scene.

So sorry to hear that he died young.
