Ray Barrett

Ray Barrett (2nd May 1927-8th September 2009) played Bennett and Koquillion in The Rescue. The Australian-born actor was a popular performer on UK television in the 1960s, appearing on many different programmes. Science fiction fans, however, will likely know him best for his voice acting work on several Gerry Anderson Supermarionation series: as Sam Shore on Stingray and as John Tracy, The Hood, and other characters on Thunderbirds.

He later returned to Australia and continued acting; his final film appearance was in the 2008 epic film Australia.

He died of a brain hemorrhage on 8th September 2009.
