fantasic in the film "notebook", ending of that made me, RIP mr.garner

I was a big fan of 'The Rockford Files' but I guess everyone will remember Henley in 'The Great Escape'.

Support Your Local Sheriff!

RIP

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.

Not seen that HHSV so will keep an eye out for it

Always very watchable.

RIP

I remember him with fondness as Henley the scrounger in The Great Escape as well as the Rockford Files. 

Werner . - Yes ? There is one small favour . A camera . We want to take some snapshots . You know , keepsakes . 35mm with a 2 . 8 lens and a plane shutter .

The Rockford Files a very fondly remembered programme of a bygone era.

Rip

yes very much a bygone age- R.I.P james

Loved his relaxed style as an actor, Maverick, Cheyenne, Wagon Train, Lone Ranger, Wells Fargo, Wyatt Earp, some of the best old westerns on TV.

R.I.P.

"Crazy, mixed-up kid, that Werner. But I like him."

Terrific actor.Very versatile.Always entertaining.Vastly superior to the Cruise,Pitt,Willis mob.

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

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.

MAVERICK WAS MY FAV

'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.

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

RIP.

Maverick used to have an emergency $100 gambling stake sewn into his hat lining

think a lot of us watching that gave us the gambling bug, james youve got a lot to answer for
