I liked that show. Was the first one I saw in color. Is he the 2nd or 3rd one? RIP

[Lmo56]

Don’t forget The Bold Ones ...

[MamaB]

Sorry but I deleted too many words. I meant that Lost in Space was my first color show.

[Fledermaus]

RIP, loved his work.

Dennis Miller always likes to play a clip of him from a movie on his radio show. It’s great. I can’t remember from what movie but he’s really hamming it up as good as Shatner.

It’s a classic to me. The end is him saying, “your in bed with me...in Bed with me”...I wish I could remember more. I’d look it up but not now.

[Fledermaus]

After the 50’s and 60’s the Bold Ones was another to go to 90 minutes.

It was the same format that LA Law took over later. Lawyers, doctors and, I don’t remember, cops?

[Georgia Girl 2]

73 is not that old. I really liked him.

Did a great “Peter” in the mini series Jesus of Nazareth.

[CaptainK]

I saw him on stage in the Lincoln Center 25th Anniversary production of A Street Car Named Desire. He was terrific.

[crazydad]

Loved that movie since I was a kid. Just watched it on Netflix. Great Cast. Except Commie Sheen!

[Vendome]

yep. Always thought he was cool.

[Vendome]

my favorite part is when they splashed the Zero’s.

[Mortrey]

I agree. That was a wonderful production. Every frame was like a painting.
He was wonderful in it.
RIP, James.

Peter in “Jesus of Nazareth.”

[dr_lew]

I was very disappointed with the air action in this movie. It seemed like the Tomcats were mushing along at stall speed. I wanted to see a squadron of Zeros lurking at 20,000 feet get thrown into spins by a vertical flyby.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Enjoyed his work. RIP.

[Vendome]

LOL

Well, the movie was made in the 70’s and they wanted to emphasize the leaps we have made, which were then brought full circle in the ending and how some people got pretty dang’d rich.

CINEMA PING

we lost another good one!

[Rummyfan]

Well, anything with Katherine Ross gets a nod from me!

[Semper Mark]

Did a great “Peter” in the mini series Jesus of Nazareth.

I thought so, too.

[MomwithHope]

Dittos, he was a great Peter, we’ve watched thoses DVDs so many times over the years they are getting corrupted.
