I just read that he died at 83. I remember him from the 6 Million Dollar Man, Battle Beyond the Stars and of course Enter the Dragon. He was in quite a few things over the years.

Omigosh. That's Number 3.

His favorite story was how he was constantly asked what it was like to work with Bruce Lee.

rip, Roper.

That guy was in EVERYTHING. That sucks.

83? I never would have guessed it. Time marches on.

Not universally loved, but he and Brando were in The Appaloosa together, and I liked it.

200 roles over 50 years. I remember him as a young actor, when I was a lot younger myself.

A lot of actors dying. Makes me wonder --I'm 82 and they're dying around my age.

May he RIP. I always enjoyed the many roles he played in movies.

great actor.He will be missed.

I've seen a ton of his moves and enjoyed watching him But I never thought of him as a great actor. He was just John Saxon.

There's 1 movie where he's a mexican and I didn't realize it was him until half way through. There's another where he's on another planet and uses an unloaded gun to scare the natives- They'd never seen a gun and it didn't scare them.

A classic "that guy". I couldn't have told you his name, but watched him a million times.

If you watch the ancient tv channels , Like I do,
it's not uncommon to see John S.
3 -5 times a day
on different show's.


if we played Six degrees of John Saxon ,
(instead of Kevin Bacon)

I doubt that anyone would be left out

Joe Kidd's got nothing against him.

I think he was in the movie “Joe Kidd”.

Ya think?

Say, wait a minute....yeeeeeeeeah, he was in that movie. He played Clint Eastwood. I remember now...

Me too! I didn’t recognize the name but watching the video kkina posted above was like “Oh, yeah!”
Great actor.

What got me was reading that he died here in Murfreesboro, TN. I have lived in Murfreesboro for nearly 23 years and no idea he was here. He apparently lived under the radar.
