He gave us one of the greatest MST3K spoofs ever. “ Mitchell.” RIP, Joe Don. B movie cinema is richer for your efforts.

I liked “Walking Tall”; he was great in that. I thought he was amazing in “Charley Varrick”, a movie I could watch every few months.
It borders on criminal that he was never given a shot art playing Babe Ruth — he’s the actor most resembling the Bambino.

Perhaps he now knows if there is beer on the sun.

RIP Mitchell.
Don’t forget “Final Justice”.
He was in pretty good classic MI episode “The Miracle” even though the whole plot was absurd like most.
Anyone who could co-star in some James Bond movie couldn’t be all bad.
I think the MST3K guys went a little too far in JD’s case.

One of the few to both play a villain and an ally in James Bond. Maude Adams is the other.

To be honest, I thought he died years ago.................

Charlie Varrick was another good movie.
Now that you mention it, I see the resemblance.

In Walking Tall the ambush of the sheriff and his wife had an effect on me similar to learning of the JFK assassination.

Sorry to hear. He also had a great role in Chevy Chase’ Fletch movie.

“...mourned by a small but very close circle of friends who will miss him eternally.”
People say this a lot. I always read this to mean that his survivors think they’re gonna live forever.
