James Garner. Died at 86. RIP Rockford.
 
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.
 
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.
 
yep his passing is a big loss. if you have not seen it check out the movie he did in 1963 "the wheeler dealers" Lee Remick, Phil Harris, Chill Wills. Jim Backus.
 
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.
 
@WickedFog yes very old thread lol but yeah dude was great. Watched Support Your Local Sheriff a couple weeks ago, so good.

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.
 
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 🤣
