No one can forget the amazing 'Hot Dog Shirt' he wore in the fourth season episode 'The Return of Luther Gillis'.

Ciao Geoffrey.

"Onion's extra" What a great actor! He was in so many movies and TV shows that I love! He was in another episode of Magnum, and The Shadow Riders, with Tom Selleck! "Left turn Clyde"!

He was in so many things! Great bad guy.

R.I.P.

He's been in so many things, really hard to remember them all.

Every time the passing of one of these guys like Mr.Lewis, who I remember seeing as long as I've been able to watch tv, it seems like the end of an era, and then you get a little glimpse of what our parents must have felt as we were being introduced to the world of film, they were seeing it transform from what they grew up with.

I think it's called "progress"..or something like that.

He had a pretty good run. I think he was great with Eastwood and Clyde, some of my favorite memories of him anyway.

Hi Kalai,
I think Lloyd the Hot Dog King was one of the very best Magnum characters. I trust he is now looking down on us from The Great Hot Dog Truck in the Sky.

To me, he'll always be Willis P. Dunleevy in the short-lived series Land's End. I've been waiting for a DVD release on that one forever, but it'll probably never happen. I liked him as the hot dog shirt guy in "The Return of Luther Gillis" too. Actually, I liked all the Luther Gillis episodes of Magnum. Now, enjoy the opening sequence of Land's End:
