To Kill a Mockingbird was his first movie. Not a bad start.

So good in so many movies. The Great Santini was a tour de force performance.

RIP my Jan 5 birthday buddy.

As soon as the news hit, I thought, "Jeopardy Curse!" Boo Radley was the FJ - and a triple stumper - last Wednesday. I didn't realize he was 95.

He was in episodes of some of my favorite shows growing up. It would be nice to be able to watch some of them.

Twilight Zone - 1 episode
The Virginian - 1 episode
The Fugitive - 3 episodes
Voyage to te Bottom of the Sea - 1 episode (Zar...must have been a sea creature)
Time Tunnel - 2 episodes
Combat! - 3 episodes
The Wild Wild West - 1 episode
Mod Squad - 1 episode
The F.B.I. - 5 episodes


Didn't remember (or realize) he was Frank Burns in the movie M*A*S*H. I need to rewatch that.

My favorite role of his was Hub in Second Hand Lions (probably because it is more recent and I really like the movie), but from his early work, The Great Santini.

If you get MeTV, they show Twilight Zone (nightly except Saturday, 12:30 AM) , Voyage... & Time Tunnel (Saturday late night), The Fugitive (Sunday late night), and (I think) Wild Wild West (yes - I just checked; it's Saturday 10 AM.)

Guess you can tell I'm retired - I have most of the late night MeTV schedule memorized!

The last thing I remember seeing him in was Alfred Hitchcock Presents (airs after Twilight Zone), where he played a "Bad Actor" who got drunk and (accidentally?) strangled his friend who was up for the same role. Shenanigans ensue when he tries to dispose of the body :mrgreen: !
