I also remember him well from Airwolf in the 1980s. RIP

He was already considered a has-been by the time he did WINDS OF WAR. In the '70s he had a kind of tortured porn actor look and elocution which made you chuckle at him a little bit (but was apparently paid a king's ransom for TV's AIRWOLF).

Another 80's tv-star icon passed away, so sad to hear how he spend his life the last couple years. He made some great movies and tv-shows in the 70's and 80's.
