Link Great career and long life. Most will think of “Viper” but I single out his role as Captain Dallas, with an aside as “Strawberry” in Up In Smoke. “Posterity! You will never know how much it cost the present Generation to preserve your Freedom! I hope you will make good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in Heaven, that I ever took half the Pains to preserve it.” ― John Adams "Fire can be our friend; whether it's toasting marshmallows, or raining down on Charlie." - Principal Skinner. | ||

I liked him. I saw something about his age recently and was a bit surprised at how old he was. _______________________________________________________ despite them | |||

93? Wow. Viper yes, but I loved his demeanor as the father, Reverend Maclean, in A River Runs Through It. There ain't much difference in the man I want to be and the man that I really am. | |||

Man had a great career. I remember him best as Dallas in Alien, also as Duke in M.A.S.H. But I also liked him in the numerous roles he played on westerns on TV- Bonanza, Wagon Train, and especially Gunsmoke. And his role as Evan Drake on Cheers was fun.

That is very sad news. I enjoyed his acting. 93 is a great run. | |||

Lot of great roles played by him. Great actor, great career. Place your clothes and weapons where you can find them in the dark. “If in winning a race, you lose the respect of your fellow competitors, then you have won nothing” - Paul Elvstrom "The Great Dane" 1928 - 2016 | |||

Oh no, I hate to hear this. He had some great roles over the years. I will always think of him as Dallas and Viper among many others. I know what I will be watching this weekend.

| I swear I had something for this |
I couldn't find his cameo from Ted, but this is what I will best remember him by. Poor bastard got fiberglassed into the set, had vasoline and maggots covering his face, and they still chop the scene out until 2002ish. RIP Dallas. | |||
