Liked him in Walking Tall and a few other flicks. Those type of movies that were TV re-run staples.

He showed up in a lot of the old westerns. Bonanza, Gunsmoke and others as well.

Sorry to hear this. He played some good roles over the years. One of my favorite movies of his is Framed 1975.

I own Charlie Varrick (Joe Don Baker and Walter Matthau) and The Outfit (JDB and Robert Duvall). Liked him in a lot of other things, too.

He had a very good career...was just thinking and realize that I have four movies with him; three 007s and "Mars Attacks".

Mystery Science Theater 3000 has a "Memorial Stream" of the movies of his they did.

I checked out the MST3K tribute a couple of times; it's only "Mitchell" and "Final Justice" that they are airing; (which were the two that Joel and Mike and the robots skewered).

I will always remember him as Sheriff Buford Pusser.
