Douglas Rain, who supplied HAL’s voice in ‘2001: A Space Odyssey,’ dies at 90
NOV. 12, 2018

Canadian actor Douglas Rain, who played some of Shakespeare’s most intriguing characters onstage but perhaps is best known for the creepily calm voice of the computer HAL in Stanley Kubrick’s “2001: A Space Odyssey” has died at 90.

HAL is the onboard master computer on the spaceship Discovery 1 but goes rogue. When astronaut Dave Bowman asks HAL to open the ships’ pod doors, HAL famously balks.

“I’m sorry, Dave. I’m afraid I can’t do that,” the machine blandly refuses. “This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.”

When the astronauts try to disconnect HAL, he fights back. During his shutdown, HAL sings the nursery rhyme “Daisy Bell” and memorably utters: “I’m afraid, Dave. Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it.” The American Film Institute named HAL the 13th greatest movie villain of all time, joining a list that includes Hannibal Lecter and Darth Vader.

Sorry, I'd be cheating if I said anyone. Although I do know it was named after someone called Penn.
