Richard Chamberlain the star preceded Ben Casey and Marcus Welby. My grandmother in the depths of dementia enjoyed the show.

An excellent actor; Mr. Chamberlain also starred in the epic Shogun mini-series back in 1980.

I'm sorry to hear this. I enjoyed him in Shogun and The Thornbirds.

I am watching him as the original Jason Bourne in "The Bourne Identity" on YouTube. I consider his 1988 mini-series to be far superior to any of the Matt Damon versions.

Thank you for the many enjoyable hours of film and tv entertainment, Mr. Chamberlain.

He was good as McKeag in Centennial also.

Thought him long gone, i’m surprised.

Watched hundreds of hours of Dr. Kildare in my early days but had completely forgotten him as main character. I was too young.
Do remember liking him as Anjin San in Shogun.

RIP Richard.

Aramis in the two best 3 & 4 Musketeer movies.

Also the evil son in law in Towering Inferno. You were rooting for him to die.

Was watching an old 30 minute black and white "Gunsmoke" episode awhile back, and one of the minor cowboys up to no good looked familiar; yep, it was Chamberlain! Appreciated his work in the earlier "Bourne Identity", "Shogun", "Centennial" miniseries, and those 2 Musketeer films (the best film telling of that story).
He was nearly 91; had a good long run, family who cared about him and a fairly quick end; one could do worse.

IIRC, in an episode of Twilight Zone he played a young World War II German submariner with a conscience. He was on-screen for maybe 3 minutes of the episode.
