Background

Born in either 1939 or 1943 according to various sources, Manard appeared in several movies and made guest spots on popular TV shows for many decades, such as Officer Michael Francis Murphy on The Flash, but he is perhaps best known for his role as "Hap" Ashby in the low budget science-fiction adventure Trancers, in a supporting role as a washed up baseball player, who is targeted by a psychic assassin^[2] from the future. He returned to this role in Trancers II, and in 1985, he also had reunited with co-stars Art LaFleur and Tim Thomerson for the Zone Troopers. Manard died in 2014 in Las Vegas aged 71 after a long illness.^[3]
