Star Trek may have led to the term "red shirts", but the expendable characters in Star Wars were more memorable. Most memorable of them all was Porkins (a.k.a. "Red Six"), played by William Hootkins, who passed away last weekend. Hootkins also played the crooked police lieutentant Echkardt in Tim Burton's Batman and Frobisher in the Blackadder II episode "Beer".

Sad, I always had a soft spot for Porkins! Here's to you big guy...

He served the classic geek in the fighter cockpit role, before the world knew what a geek was in the 1970s.

Sorry to hear about his passing.  :'(
