Roger Earl Mosley, who played helicopter pilot Theodore "T.C." Calvin on the original Magnum, P.I., has died. He was 83. Mosley starred alongside Tom Selleck during the show's entire run, from 1980 to 1988. Mosley appeared in two episodes of the remake series starring Jay Hernandez.
Mosley's daughter, Ch-a Mosley, announced her father's death on Facebook, reports CBS Los Angeles. He died at 1:17 a.m., surrounded by his family, Ch-a wrote. "We could never mourn such an amazing man. He would HATE any crying done in his name," Ch-a continued. "It is time to celebrate the legacy he left for us all. I love you, daddy. You loved me too. My heart is heavy but I am strong. I will care for mommy, your love of almost 60 years. You raised me well and she is in good hands. Rest easy."

Althoug I was thinking Chia for the pronounciation, as in the famous Chia pet.
Thanks for the info.
What a shame! I loved him.
Dang - I really liked his characters.
Oh, too bad, but 83 is a good run. He was so likeable!
thank you...

dumb ass
Grew up in Watts, never knew his dad. Married one woman for all his life, raised three kids that apparently really love him. Never heard any controversy about him. Sounds like a fine man.
Lots of really funny racist jokes on this thread about a fine man by reputation and behavior. Please, tell us more.
Classy...
Join the club, FRiend.
He was great in Magnum.
A good episode of Rockford Files as electric Larry.
Where are the racist jokes? All I see are compliments and questions.
Touchy.
I enjoyed when him and Higgins had a scene together it was usually hilarious! RIP T.C.!
Please, dear woke sir, what is the proper pronunciation of that name? And why would anyone do that to a child?
Great episode!
Higgie Baby!
He posts like a Vox or The Daily Beast writer would except I didn’t see any grammatical errors..
IMO he was a much better “TC” than the guy in the new series.
