R.I.P. George D. Wallace. He had a memorable guest role in 'Hell's Bells' playing fake Xander from the future.

I send my condolences to his family and friends.

He made a very convincing fake-future-Xander I might add.

Oh, that's sad. I didn't know his name but I recognised his face from many different things over the years.

Wow, how interesting that he was a singer. Imagine a flash-forward Xander scene in OMWF. Wouldn't that have been interesting.

It's a tribute to BtVS that it was mentioned in this article as a notable guest appearance, when according to IMDB he did about 130 TV guest spots.

Heck of a career...can't watch that episode without wiping away at least a few tears...especially after having seen it more than once when Anya says, of reciting her vows, "For the last time" and you realize it really is for the last time...just too poignant...

Yeah, great ep and an amazing performance by George D. Wallace. He will be missed. Rest in peace, George.

One of the not-so-vast but underrecognized army of all but forgotten working performers doing first rate work and going all but unnoticed -- not that it's a sad story at all. The guy did the near impossible -- he made a living in show business!

And, bobster, he worked into his mid-80s! God bless, George!

That is a shame :-( He was fantastic as a future Xander. God rest his soul.

His filmography reads as a textbook of episodes of all the classic TV series of the 1950s and 1960s, as well as many of the B-movies of that era, beyond his well-known serial. It doesn't end there, of course, because he did continue to get work through this year. His was certainly a memorable performance in Buffy. My condolences to his family and friends.
