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.
