Jose Chung Has Returned to Space

In case you missed it, Charles Nelson Reilly passed away last week. He had an illustrious career playing many different characters, but mostly played himself (with character names) in shows that specialized in waltzing the Hollywood favorites through each week (IE: The Love Boat).

He was, however, most known to the sci-fi genre fan as Jose Chung, from one of the best X-Files episodes in nine seasons, "Jose Chung's From Outer Space".

If you missed it, you can read the Wiki article here.

On a strictly personal note, his trademark laugh was one of the first impressions I was able to aptly perform and usually got a chuckle from my audience (provided they were old enough to know who he was).

Jose Chung himself said, "Although we may not be alone in the universe, in our own separate ways, on this planet, we are all alone."

I hope the lava men at the center of the Earth welcome you with open arms.
