I was surprised to learn how old he was. I liked him a lot in Magnum PI. RIP

Aw damnit thats a shame. Another car wreck. Lots happening to celebs lately. I knew about how old he was years ago and it surprised me then. I really loved him him in Magnum. I just mentioned him in the other thread recently. Mr Roger E Mosley. Always watched the credits at the start so easy to remember. RIP.

He also appeared in the Magnum reboot, and was very active in LA - Here's the LA Times obit, which I found interesting:

Around the world, Roger E. Mosley was known as helicopter pilot Theodore “T.C.” Calvin from the 1980s TV series “Magnum, P.I.” But in the Los Angeles area, he also was known as something else: a high school track and field coach who cultivated the talent and changed the lives of student athletes over three decades....

...He also guest-starred on a couple of episodes of the recent “Magnum P.I.” reboot as John Booky, a wise barber and Vietnam War veteran.

If I haven't seen an actor or actress on tv or in something in a long time I have a habit of thinking oh poor them they have no life. Its a bad habit. These people for the most part its just a job to them. They still have a life like anyone else and they either find non acting activities or work. I dont know why I tend to think that as my first reactions.
