Collins is also known for the roles of Captain Will Decker in Star Trek: The Motion Picture, and Dr. Dayton King on the ABC TV series No Ordinary Family. He also had a supporting role in the TV series Revolution as Dr. Gene Porter.
In October 2014, the New York City Police Department began investigating Collins after the media got an audio recording. The recording had a male voice believed to be Collins. The person on the recording admitted to past sexual abuse of a child. In 1983, two girls stated that they were "touched" by Collins.
The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) said Collins had been investigated by the department in 2012. That investigation happened after LAPD received a claim from forty years earlier regarding sexual abuse. The LAPD said they were not able to prove that the claim was true.[1][2][3]
