Damn. I used to watch Sliders all the time, but can't remember it because I was so young.

Oh shit, that's awful. He's got an indepth obit on Hollywood Reporter.

Sliders first season was great, I remember the rest going way downhill because of clearly Fox corporate asshole meddling.

Thanks for post, OP. RIP

He was also the son of singer Mel Tormé. If you watched the '80s Night Court, Judge Harry Stone was a fan & he played himself in a few episodes.

He brought Mel onto one of the early Sliders episodes. He was so cute on it, and it was shortly before he died.

Awww nooo.
The first 2 seasons of Sliders was the BEST. I've been binging the Outer Limits and it honestly holds up. Only a few dud episodes in the first 3 seasons so far!

RIP Tracy Torme

I remember watching Sliders in Russian on my grandma's tiny kitchen tube TV in the 90's whenever I could.
