    Only saw Hendley in The Great Escape again the other day. Used to enjoy The Rockford Files as a kid & dad always enjoyed his westerns & the Maverick series.

    Rest in Peace Jim

    My Nann, who also took my brother and me to Charlton games when kids, had a thing for James Garner. She loved the Rockford Files.

    One of those guys who didn't look like he was acting, which probably means he was a very good actor indeed. Like most people I watched the Rockford files avidly, but I'll always remember "Support your local Sheriff"- a gloriously silly Western he was in which still makes me chuckle seeing it for about the 10th time. RIP.

    And a great example of his effortless style BW.

    Again RIP

    I also thought he was brilliant in Support your local Sheriff & Support your local Gunfighter, as well as the Marlowe film where Bruce Lee tries to karate kick him, Garner dodges, and Lee sails off the side of the skyscraper.
