...what actor (if any) that Lt. "Phones" Sheridan was modeled on?

I have heard that Troy Tempest was based on James Garner and Marina on Brigitte Bardot.

To me, Phones kind of favored Richard Basehart.

I always think he is modeled on actor Red Buttons.
And Commander Shore reminds me to Lorne Greene.
