From Fat Man and Little Boy; one of the few modern films made about the Manhattan Project. Almost an A-lister with Newman as General Groves, and yes, that is indeed Dwight Schultz whom trekkies know as Reg Barclay :) playing Robert Oppenheimer

First test of the gadget

Or as "A-Team" member "Howlin' Mad Murdock", or as "The Gamekeeper" in Stargate SG-1. What a great actor!

This was in 1989 too, before he got into any science fiction roles; he did a good job here and was dead-on serious
