I had no idea that he was as old as 83.


Actor Roger E. Mosley, who appeared in all eight seasons of the original Magnum P.I., has died aged 83.

He portrayed Theodore "T.C." Calvin, the helicopter pilot and friend of Tom Selleck's character.

Mosley died from injuries sustained in a car accident in Lynwood, Los Angeles last week.

I had no idea he was 83 either. Loved him on Magnum P.I. I thought his character complemented Thomas very well.

He played a pilot in a rickety plane in one of my favorite two-part episodes of STARSKY & HUTCH, uncreatively-titled "The Set Up," so I always associate him with crashing.

Sort of how I always associated Naomi Judd with suicide ever since Naomi Campbell attempted it several years ago and I thought it was Judd (until friends told me it was Campbell and not Judd) and then, in 2022, it was indeed Judd.
