Amiable actor James Garner, whose moderately successful film career was eclipsed by two extraordinarily popular television series, “Maverick” and “The Rockford Files,” has died. He was 86.

Very much liked Support Your Local Sheriff. Last thing I saw him in a few weeks back had him playing Wyatt Earp who was investigating a murder in the silent movie days of Hollywood. Assisted by Bruce Willis playing Tom Mix. Quite entertaining.

Top bloke, underrated actor, loved his golf, had a stroke a few years ago.
My fave role of his was in Duel at Diablo. A very good western.. |

$200 a day plus expenses, he was on decent bunce back then. The Rockford Files was never missed in my house growing up. He had a great innings though.

20 Jul 14 15:16 Been watching the Rockford Files on and off for last few months on netflix....every bit as good as i remembered it as a kid in the late 70s, RIP Rocky 'Rocky' was the nickname given to his dad in that programme. Didn't like the film 'The Great Escape', apart from that, I liked him in everything else. R.I.P. |

- and regarding 'Rocky' (and for interest purposes only); Noah Beery Jr who played James Garner's dad in The Rockford Files was the nephew of Wallace Beery - the actor who won a Best Actor Oscar for his portrayal in the original film of 'The Champ' and was one of my favourite actors.
Sad that James has died but 86 is a very good innings. |

By:
He was brilliant in the Rockford File. They don't make actors like him anymore, sadly. Really admired him.
RIP. |
