Yes. He played the reporter.
“David Hedison as Ed Malone A journalist at the Global News who volunteers to join the expedition.”

Ironically, there was an actor who played a leading role in BOTH things I referenced (the 60s TV series Lost In Space AND the 1960 movie The Lost World).
And that was Michael Rennie
The Lost World (1960): “Michael Rennie as Lord John Roxton An experienced big-game hunter who joins the expedition.”
