Actor James Garner of 'The Rockford Files' dead at 86

Garner, who built a six-decade career playing ruggedly charming, good-natured anti-heroes and received the highest honor of the Screen Actors Guild in 2004, was found dead from natural causes on Saturday night at his Los Angeles home, according to police.

He was a cool guy....What some people don't know is that way back when, there was a ScyFy flick about scientists at I think the North Pole. They were being hunted/attacked by a creature that turned out to be I think a human image of plant life.

James Garner was the man in the monster suit. I need to find the flick, was a favorite when I was a kid.


My mistake...was James Arness....

James Garner, 5th Regimental Combat Team veteran dies at age 86

What most fans didn’t realize, James Garner was also a veteran of the Korean War and two-time recipient of the Purple Heart. Garner’s first injury was to the face and hand from an enemy mortar round.

Always one for a good laugh, even on himself, Garner no doubt cracked a few jokes about his second injury from “friendly fire. “ Diving headfirst into a foxhole on April 23, 1951, the handsome Soldier was hit in the butt as rounds flew from a U.S. fighter jet overhead. It wasn’t until 32 years later that the government saw fit to award Garner the second Purple Heart.

James Garner was a great actor. Always enjoyed his work. Rockford Files was one of my favorite shows when I was a kid.

So sorry to hear that, my late little brother and I used to memorize the phone number in the opening credits. 555-2368.

A few hours before he died, I carried him to the living room and he watched a rerun of Rockford Files.

RIP James Garner, he was my favorite of the Maverick brothers and little brother's favorite actor.
