I always liked his acting and never heard a bad word about him. He also happened to be a dead ringer for a guy I know. RIP

    I agree, I loved his acting if that's what it was. He seemed so natural in all his roles. B)

    He was PERFECT for that sheriff's role in Rambo, First Blood.

    Man, that’s the worst news I’ve heard in a while. As stated, he came across so natural, it rarely seemed as though he were acting. RIP sir.

    First saw him in a movie called 'FX', probably in the mid 80's. Was really impressed and kind of followed his work from then on. Never seemed to be acting as he seemed to be such a natural for every role I saw him in. A fine talent. Sorry it's come to an end.

    RIP
