You can't be too cautious when reporting deaths.

From various articles popping up this afternoon, it sounds like his death wasn't publicized at the time and it didn't come to light in the media until someone (TMZ, it appears) went snooping and got access to his death certificate.

Coincidentally I looked him up the other day. I saw his newer pictures. I couldn't recognize him. He did not age well.
I liked him as an actor tho.

Airwolf is by far my favorite B series ever.

Wasn't really a fan of Airwolf back in the day, but I remember it being on.

Can't say I thought of him either until Rick and Morty added him to their show.

Maybe next year, maybe no go

As a kid, there were two camps. Airwolf or Blue Thunder. You could enjoy both but had to pick just one. My crew was Blue Thunder. But we all liked Airwolf.

+1 to Team Airwolf. Loved that show. Forgot Ernest Borgnine was in it. That guy was prolific!

RIP

For some reason I remember the reporting of him that hanging out with Robert Mitchum on "The Winds of War" set and socially got him hooked on the drink. And that derailed his career from being a big star.
