Blacks don’t do as well in water. I don’t know why.

I remember him from the post-apocalyptic show "Jeremiah". He played his role very believably and I really liked that program ...

Said to hear that. I only watched one season of The Cosby show, but I’ve enjoyed his appearances on various shows since. RIP, MJW.

Wow, how sad. We liked him in the Resident TV show that ended a couple years back. He also did some 3/4 episode appearances on 9-1-1, and Alert: Missing persons in the last two years.

I’ve been to that beach. There are signs everywhere warning people about this. It’s still considered one of the safer beaches in the area.

I remember one funny bit where Theo, the teenage son says, “we’re rich.”

His Dad says, “no, I’m rich. You have nothing.”

I remember it differently.

It was the middle girl. She was embarrassed about being rich, so she complained, "I hate being rich."

Dad replied, "No, your mother and I are rich. You have nothing."

Actually, he didn't say "No." He began with something like, "Let me be clear" or something similar.

“I can’t find where to watch the entire Major Crimes series...any clue?”

Lifetime Network. Usually free on a streaming package like YouTube TV, Hulu, Spectrum, Dish......

Good show, but the gay character they added “Rusty” was irritating.

shoving the homo agenda down our throats has become a mandate from on high. ‘put gays/trannies in your show/movie or we don’t fund you’

Yes, he was really good in The Resident. Was sad they ended the show- they could have done some spin off with him.
:( R.I.P.

He did seem like a nice guy. I’m saddened too.
