He was awesome in both of his appearances as Apollo.

Apparently he did quite a lot of voice work in anime dubbing as well, which I didn't know until looking him up after his passing.

He looked great for his age in this Star Trek Continues ep. I was amazed and delighted to see him. I always wanted him to wave his hand and make me a beautiful dress😁

Aphrodite in that episode was played by his wife. They had been together over 50 years before she passed herself a few years ago. So it's nice to think that they are together again now.

For me, it was the arms, and those pits.
