One great actor, here is a list of his credits

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001258/

 

[Rolex]

He wore that black cowboy hat, drove a gold Firebird that talked to him, always had a Chimpanzee riding with him and kept a big white bird in his trailer.

86 huh! Sounds to me he indeed lived a good one, R.I.P

The Great Escape is my favorite thing he's been in. I LOVE that movie. Him, McQueen, Charles Bronson, hard to get better than that back then.

 

[hamz9561]

Don't forget him with Clint Eastwood in Space Cowboys.

Old thread, but an actor very worthy of remembering. One of my father's favorites, so one of mine as well because I grew up watching him. I was just rummaging through posts about movies here and saw this. Now I am going to have to binge watch a bunch of his movies, because it doesn't look like I'll be doing much else this weekend.

I haven't seen that one. On my watch list though now, so thanks.

I just watched Space Cowboys a couple weeks ago, so next up is Maverick. I think James and Mel maid one helluva pair in that one.

 

[slowngreen]

It's a western comedy with him, Bruce Dern, Jack Elam and Walter Brennan. There's a sequel called Support Your Local Gunfighter too.
Also if you have never watched it, The Great Escape is excellent

I have seen The Great Escape a number of times. Love that movie. Tank was another one I liked when I was young. I always wanted my own tank after watching that one

 

[slowngreen]

I want a tank after I watch any war movie.
