Very sad news. He was a terrific actor and in so many movies and tv shows. "The Rockford Files" is currently being shown on MeTV channel during the weekdays. He was great in the movie "Space Cowboys". I remember reading his book awhile back and it was a very interesting read and insight into his life and work as an actor. He will be missed. :tombstone: :rose: Condolences to his family.

A bit more about James Garner for those who may not be all that familiar with him or his acting work:

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001258/

I was wondering if he had done any voice work for any video games but I guess not because I could not find anything listed on his IMDB page, etc. However, it seems he was the voice of Shazam in a few projects. Cool!!
