As a child, Mumy's acting resume boasted a slew of Hollywood classic shows

Sci-fi fans got another dose of Mumy magic when he co-created Nickelodeon’s Space Cases and slipped into prosthetics as Lennier on Babylon 5.

He even beamed into the Star Trek universe in 1998, this time as a human — something he admitted was a relief after years of makeup.

In later years, he appeared in Crossing Jordan, starred in Syfy’s A.I. Assault, and made a cheeky cameo as Dr. Z. Smith in ’s Lost in Space.

But acting is only half his story — Mumy has lived and breathed music for decades, releasing solo albums and collaborating with America, Shaun Cassidy, and more.

The Munsters, Perry Mason, The Twilight Zone, Bewitched, and I Dream of Jeannie were among the series he appeared in as a kid

The sci-fi genre was clearly one Mumy gravitated towards, nabbing a role on Babylon 5 as an adult

He made waves in the late ’70s as half of the quirky duo Barnes & Barnes, whose bizarre earworm Fish Heads became a cult hit.

These days, he’s rocking out with Action Skulls alongside Vicki Peterson of The Bangles and John Cowsill of Beach Boys fame.
