Gary Lockwood

Gary Lockwood is an American actor known for his role as the astronaut Dr. Frank Poole in 2001 A Space Odyssey , and as Lieutenant Commander Gary Mitchell in the Star Trek pilot episode Where No Man Has Gone Before .

Lockwoods two series came early in his career, and each lasted only a single season. ABCs Hawaiiset Follow the Sun cast him in support of Brett Halsey and Barry Coe, who played adventurous magazine writers based in Honolulu. Lockwood was Eric Jason, who did the legwork for their articles, but his onscreen time was limited since most of the plot focused on Halsey or Coe. In the story, Eric Jason was said to have been born on December 7, 1941 , but Lockwood was actually born nearly five years earlier. Another series regular was Gigi Perreau, who played the writers secretary. Lockwood had earlier played a soldier with a crush on Mary Stone on the ABC sitcom, The Donna Reed Show.
