A great actor.
Really liked the guy in all his roles. A cool dude.
A local legal firm, Marks & Harrison, has used him in ads here for years - but I think the ads were actually filmed over 5 years or more ago - they still show up.
That said, he was awesome, cooler than cool, this guy could be pure ice. RIP
Topper,...Topper, I thought I was the last person alive to think that. ;-)
Bullitt is a 1968 American dramatic thriller film directed by Peter Yates and produced by Philip D'Antoni. It stars Steve McQueen, Robert Vaughn, and Jacqueline Bisset.
I always liked him as an actor and loved The Man From UNCLE. I read that he was a big lib, but he didn’t trash half his fans and his country like today’s libs.
