Guy was in a lot of stuff and had a long career but is probably best known for Cheyenne.

His death, at a hospital, was confirmed by his daughter, Valerie Walker, who said the cause was congestive heart failure.

A real mans man. Girls wanted him and guys wanted to be him. At 6'6" he cut a towering figure.

In May 1971, Walker narrowly escaped death in a skiing accident at Mammoth Mountain, California. In a fall from a ski lift, Walker was pierced through the heart with a ski pole. He was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead. However, a doctor detected faint signs of life and rushed Walker to surgery, where his damaged heart was repaired. Within two months, Walker was working again

For some reason I read that as Clint Howard, and thought he couldn't have been that old.
I spent 90% of the money I made on women, booze, and drugs. The other 10% I just pissed away.

I used to work with a Clint Walker, so my first thought was 'He's dead?! How did Daehawk know him?! Wait, he wasn't that old...'

I watched his TV show and movies at the time. Always liked him, a gentle giant.

I was always a fan of his work. Kind of the anti-Clint Eastwood type.
