The late Dean Stockwell as Al who passed away today on November 9 2021, as he plays the comic relief and A. I. only Sam Beckett played by NCIS New Orleans Scott Bakula who is the protagonist that leaps into a different body regardless of race, color, creed, gender, etc.
Sam needs to right a wrong and correct history while Al supplies him with the information there. To see who he leaped into and in their history there.
It was a show above it's time. With wit, charm, angst, and understanding. The show deserved a better finale there and NBC pulled it despite viewers protest as well.
Sam was educated very much and also "discovered" time travel as naysayers said it would not work but every single time he hoped that it would lead to home. Al with his calculator like shows the person Sam leaps into and history to correct there.
Sam learned to sing, had martial arts skills, spoke languages, etc. Al was wisecracking by sympathetic. Comic relief to Sam's straight man protagonist there! RIP Mr. Stockwell.
