    He was a glorified William Shatner in regards to acting but I sure do dig a guy who loves to bear arms.

    Sorry, never liked him that much. That's the way it goes.

    He was 84....like he cares anyways.

    Sad day. The Ten Commandments was one of his best and his leadership will be missed at the NRA.

    I guess what I liked best about him is that he stood with his wife & guns directly opposite of 99.9% of those he worked with.

    Defines a man of principle/character, in my eyes........

    i don't mean to sound rude.. but I thought he passed away like 10 or so years ago. I guess I just didn't know. He will be missed by the Hollywood crowd i'm sure.
