Maverick was his name. He did some extremely cool shows in his day.

Great actor.

Love the great escape and the Rockford files. I actually really enjoyed the Maverick film with him and pre-publicly insane Mel Gibson.

The Academy awards remembrance video keeps getting longer :(

I think this sums it up well.

Amidst the mists and coldest frosts he thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts.

Do yourself a favor and see if you can find DVD's of the old Maverick t.v. series at your local library. The episodes with Roger Moore as his British cousin helping him shake people down are great because you can tell they had a blast filming them.

Good actor. Liked how he often played the nice elderly guy in his films.

If you can find the DVD, watch his movie, "The Art of Love". You'll be pissing your pants laughing.

Excellent actor and evidently a decent fellow.

Hmmm something is going on here.....Oh.... it seems there is some dispute over video taping of some sort......Frazz is really upset now..........wait a minute......whats he go there.......is it? Can it be?....Frazz has just unleashed his hidden weiner dog from his mini bag, while quoting shakespeares "Let slip the dogs the war!!" GG

Rockford Files as a kid and then again as reruns in high school. To me, he is synonymous with the 70s. He'll be missed.

Well this is a bummer. He was a cool guy and a good actor. I used to really dig watching Rockford Files reruns at my grandparent's place...

I'm gonna go get really depressed in the corner over here.

Loved him Maverick, and saw Murphy's Romance so many times as a kid (one of my mom's favorites) that I kinda wanted this guy as a step dad. He will definitely be missed.
