R.I.P. Earl Boen, Reverend Lloyd Meechum from ''Mama's Family,'' Dr. Silberman in ''Terminator'' franchise
With nearly 300 acting and voice credits to his name, Earl Boen had no shortage of success in the entertainment industry.
Earl Boen had a successful character-acting career even before he became Dr. Silberman in three Terminator films, arguably his career-defining role.
According to IMDb.com, Boen tallied nearly 300 total acting credits throughout his career. The experienced actor died Thursday, Jan. 5, 2023 according to The Hollywood Reporter, after a battle with Stage 4 lung cancer.
Boen began his television career in the Seventies, appearing in episodes of Kojak, Rafferty, Hawaii Five-O, Wonder Woman, Barnaby Jones and several others.
He appeared as Major Robert Hatch in the "Heroes" episode of M*A*S*H, a character that helps coordinate a media frenzy at the 4077th.
In the mid Eighties, Boen landed in James Cameron's The Terminator as Dr. Peter Silberman. He returned to the role in a pair of sequels, Terminator 2: Judgement Day in 1991 and Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines in 2003.
Between the films, Boen continued his guest appearance roles on television series, including a recurring role in the Vicki Lawrence sitcom Mama's Family. In his four episodes, Boen plays Reverend Lloyd Meechum, first appearing in "The Wedding: Part 2." In it, Boen officiates Vint and Naomi's wedding during season one.
He also appears in seasons three and four in episodes "Farewell, Frannie," "Where There's Smoke" and "Child's Play."
Boen played the voice of Nagilum in an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Sgt. Howard Sternhagen in an episode of Murder, She Wrote, and a pair of roles in as many episodes of Matlock.
In the courtroom drama, Boen appeared as Patrick Morrison in the season three episode "The Cult" and as Judge George Clayton in "Nowhere to Turn," an episode from season five.
Boen called it a screen-acting career in 2003, but kept working his voice, one that can be heard in a number of animated series and various video games, most notably the narrator in some World of Warcraft games, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Boen was 81.

RIP Earl Boen
I have a couple of things for you since you like space flight. This is mostly about year 2016 and the space station, flights, landings with Russians, USA and others. Seems like we were pretty well getting along, not like today though. These are 12-15 min segments and very interesting. https://archive.org/details/2021-3-6-tmp0x-efafd0be
Also the JWST site and this persons element tree on where they all likely came from.
Not sure if this will lead to that section or not. I though in the past have asked a lot of questions about the Universe and gotten like 80 replies. https://www.facebook.com/groups/jameswebbspacetelescope/?multi_permalinks=10160463600666170¬if_id=1673295959100740¬if_t=group_highlights&ref=notif
I have also picked up quite a few more movies to collection. I just keep going deeper into IA and finding them off of others who post the uploaders. I will be posting coming movies and an extra latter today.
