Sorry to hear that!
I'm sure he had a great life though and that's all you ask for!
RIP John!

Wow, he was 10 years older than Selleck. He was a dead ringer at the time....

What a full life he led!

Stand in for not one...but TWO icons! And living/working in paradise for a majority of his adult life. Guess he must have been trying to get warm....being from I.F. Minn. often the coldest spot in the nation during the winter months. Wonder if he was in "TGHAC"? :lol:

I see he ended up with JL's Merc! (at least one of em' :D )

Thanks for the memories.

Condolences to his wife and family and may he R.I.P.

Sad news. I've updated the Cast page with his death date. So cool that Jack Lord have him the HFO car! I still have never been able to definitively determine exactly when he was Tom Selleck's Stunt Double & Stand-in on MPI. Tom Lupo was also Selleck's Stunt Double & Stand-in for most of the show's run. Maybe they both worked in tandem together?

Strictly a guess, but I would guess DETSIH (pt2) or THFLGABOT.

Have to check TS wardrobe for both eps. :luther:

I agree 308GUY, I was just going to say Don't Eat the Snow In Hawaii when he shoots Philipe at the end at the airport, based on the shirt.

I checked his shirt in Thank Heaven and it's different.

Is there a reason three other people are walking with him? I think there are four people in the scene.

I think the scene is the ending of "Faith and Begorrah"

The shirt is different but the shirtless lei greeters in the background are definitely in Faith and Begorrah.

By the way, I realized that I goofed and this thread should be in "Cast & Crew". Maybe JJ can move it please? :oops:
