Mark Goddard, best known for his role as Major Don West on the CBS series "Lost in Space," has died at age 87.
Goddard’s "Lost in Space" costar Bill Mumy paid tribute to the star in a statement to Facebook, describing him as a "truly beloved friend and brother to me for 59 years." The show centered around the Robinson family, pioneers in space aboard the Jupiter 2, which was under the command of Mark Goddard's character, Major Don West, as Variety noted.
He went on to study at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and relocated to Hollywood in 1959. There he took roles in projects such as "The Rifleman" and the TV movie "Woman on the Run" with Joan Crawford, and continued with roles in "Johnny Ringo" and "The Detectives" for Four Star Television before joining the cast of "Lost in Space."
