Two down, who's next..? (an update)


Well, there's three. Dennis Weaver was just cool. I first remember him on Gunsmoke (a show watched religously by the Raleys) and then McCloud. My favorite performance of his was in "Duel". He played a guy on bad side of a trucker. Steven Speilberg's first film, if I remember correctly. He was 81.

Darren McGavin. This was a great actor. "Kolchak:The Night Stalker" was on for one season. I loved that show. He also had recurring roles in Gunsmoke, Dr. Kildare, The Virginian and more. He was 84

Don Knotts. Thanks, Barney, you were a bigger part of my childhood than just about anyone. I loved your movies, too. He was 81.

Apparently Dennis Weaver rounds out the Trifecta. Oh well.

Yeah, Duel was a Spielberg film. I call it North By Northwest with a truck instead of a plane...LOVE that movie!
