This is a guy I remember seeing a hundred times on my TV during the '60s. Very familiar face.

I remember him well. A long and fruitful life. Condolences to his surviving family members.
"This person is dead."
He was in a lot of shows, as per IMDB. Only one Perry Mason, though ( which I do remember ... from Me TV, that is! ) and I guess that picture is from his role as Rojan in Star Trek, memorable for the reduction of the crew members, at his hands, to “crystals” about the size of volleyballs.
Of course his role in Forbidden Planet was the prototype for McCoy, in Star Trek.
Yes! That’s where I remember him from. Could the cube he crushed have been from a person in a red uniform perhaps?
RIP Warren Stevens
I don't think so. It was more abstract. Something about encoding all their thoughts and personality, etc.
OK. here it is:
"This is the essence of what they were. The flesh and brain and what you call the personality, distilled down into these compact shapes."
( I can never get over being able to find all this kind of stuff on the internet. )
That was my second guess. ;)
I should have just looked it up, then again if you take away the brain and personality part, it could run as a democrat.

RIP, Doc.
One of my favorite movies in any genre.
Nothing scared me more than that Twilight Zone with Billy Mumy as the kid who could read minds. He turned that one man who got drunk into a little jack-in-the-box clown and the guy’s wife freaked out.
Prominently displayed, I hope!
Well, now we know what became of Jimmy Hoffa.
