My word.. 95! Not a bad old innings however you say it

I've always had a soft spot for him. Never the 'A' list headline star but always there. Can't ever recall seeing him play a bad part though he may have been in some 'bad' films.

They don't make em like him anymore.

Yes with a face like that he had to be a character actor. Did he not play a romantic lead in Marty

[Garry Russell]

I always clearly remember him in "Emperor of the North", he played the sadistic railroad guard so well.

Also as the retired Police man in the Poseidon Adventure...a gifted actor indeed and not one to push his fame off set either.

Seems nowadays too many Hollywood 'Stars' are famous for anything but acting

I remember him from "Airwolf"

[VEGAS]

Yep me too Ben. I liked him in that.

[Garry Russell]

Airwolf

I used to avoid that

[DaveB]

I thought someone mentioned acting?



Yeah.. I watched it too

Didn't he play the flight engineer in the film about the L1011 Tristar which crashed in the Everglades? Can't recall the title of the film EricT
