He has a son who is a very good poet. I took a couple of his son's classes and was able to read one of my poems at a reading that Constantine attended.
Sad to hear he's gone but it was an honor to read to him.

I just saw him the other day in an earlier episode of The Fugitive, where he played a sheriff who was looking for Fritz Weaver, a convicted man who was also innocent.

MeTV fan ? ;-)
I like how they re-use “Twilight Zone” music for “The Fugitive.” It fits really well.
