    Default Mr Rockford / Maverick has passed.

    Always fun to watch.

    LOS ANGELES (AP) — Actor James Garner, whose whimsical style in the 1950s TV Western "Maverick" led to a stellar career in TV and films such as "The Rockford Files" and his Oscar-nominated "Murphy's Romance," has died, police said. He was 86.

    He was one of the greats. He had a good run.

    I recently watched 'The Racing Scene' on Amazon prime. Some great racing stuff with an off screen personal feel from Garner.

    Sad news but he did some great work. He was great in Westerns as well as the Rockford Files but he'll always be Hendley (The Scrounger) to me.

    I would point out he not only volunteered for the Merchant Marine near the end of WWII but served in the Army in Korea during the Korean War (twice wounded in combat). He was a hard worker and class act -- current Hollywood stars would do well to follow his example.

    Support your local Gunfighter was funny, as were others he was in. A few good serious movies, like Up periscope, Darby's Rangers. etc
