Oh, and wasn’t he on that TV cop show? He played the tough captain who was always snarling, “The brass are turning up the heat on me- you’ve got 48 hours to solve this case, or I’ll have you pounding a beat!”

I know that guy…kinda long, short hair…blue/brown eyes…great smile…

Wasn’t he in the movie with the monster that landed in that city, and was defeated by the little kid using some weird talisman, who is the guy’s cousin in real life?

Oh, wait, I’m thinking of Bill Pullman.

Oh wait, I remember now- he was a guest in an episode of “Gilligan’s Island.” You know, the episode where they’re about to get rescued, and then Gilligan fouls up and they have to stay on the island?

And on “Three’s Company,” where he said something that Mr. Roper (Furley?) misinterpreted as having some gay context about Jack. Only it didn’t.
