RIP.
This is too bad. I remember the Las Vegas show on NBC. He was a good actor.
RIP...
I agree with the others. So many fine roles. One of mine was Brian Piccolo.

I loved when Harrah learns Mississippi's real name and his comment of: "No wonder he carried a knife.".
Many great roles. RIP

When I saw the character's name from the movie, "Brian Piccolo", I got all mysty again!
It's true the good die young. I guess that I am unexpectedly still living at 79. I remember when I was younger, I only wanted to live to be 57, to the year 2000, just to see the New Year in, then I remembered the Super Bowl and I wanted to see that. Then my son had a daughter and I wanted to see her grow up...then Mike Trout signed that ten year contract and I am a big ANGELS fan. (Met his parents in 2012 before he got called up and got his autograph on a card in Reno while he was with the Salt Lake City Bees), then Ohtani was signed...
I am reminded of a story, I think I read in the magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction about how this guy outwitted the devil and made him his own personal guide after he achieved immortality. I keep thinking, I want to be like that guy...

He was also a rodeo enthusiast. I saw him compete in calf roping in Colorado in the late 70s. He also did bronc riding.

"Thief" was my favorite movie.

Brian's Song definitely was his best role as Brian Piccolo.
