I always liked him just because his turn as Varian in Fantastic Journey made such an impression on me as a kid.

Actually only knew him as Dusty Farlow in 'Dallas'.
RIP

I remember him fondly in Fantastic Journey. That had an episode with a city ruled by little gliding machines which I recognised instantly as Dalek rip-offs! There was also a woman who communicated with her cat?
I did follow War of the Worlds as far as I could. It was shoved into graveyard slots in the UK.

Jared Martin, Who Played Dusty Farlow on ‘Dallas,’ Dies at 75
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Jared Martin, who portrayed the charming cowboy Dusty Farlow on the prime-time soap opera “Dallas,” a character that proved so popular, he was revived after his death in a plane crash, died on Wednesday at his home in Philadelphia. He was 75.
The cause was pancreatic cancer, said his wife, Yu Wei.
On “Dallas,” broadcast from 1978 to 1991, Mr. Martin played a rancher who was the lover of Sue Ellen Ewing, played by Linda Gray.
His character was also a suspect in the 1980 series cliffhanger that left the world wondering who shot the oilman J. R. Ewing. The gunman was revealed to be J. R.’s vengeful mistress and sister-in-law, Kristin Shepard, in an episode, broadcast on Nov. 21, 1980, that was seen by more people than any show in television history until that time.
Dusty Farlow was scheduled to be in three episodes, but after his death, the producers had a change of heart.
“My agent said, ‘Get ready, they are going to bring you back,’” Mr. Martin said in an interview quoted by The Hollywood Reporter. “I said, ‘How? I’m dead.’ My agent says, ‘Oh, this is Hollywood, they will think of something.’”
In the new story line, he survived the plane crash, was paralyzed, recovered and was able to compete in rodeos.
Jared Christopher Martin was born in Manhattan on Dec. 21, 1941, the son of Charles E. Martin, a New Yorker cartoonist, and Florence Taylor Martin, an artist. He was the roommate of the film director Brian De Palma when the two attended Columbia University in the 1960s.
In addition to “Dallas,” he appeared in the 1973 movie “Westworld” and a number of popular television shows, including episodes of “The Love Boat,” “Magnum P.I.” and “Murder, She Wrote.”
Besides his wife, he is survived by a son, Christian, and two grandchildren.
