That's a shame. He seemed like a genuine Good Guy. Wasn't he also in Force Ten from Navarone, or some other semi-famous WWII movie?

YES he was in Force 10 From Navarone. As well as playing the character of Greef Karga in the Mandolorian series which if you haven't seen it, it's awesome.....

He was a great actor in every role I saw him. R.I.P.

Rest in peace, you provided a lot of people with good entertainment. I liked him as the chief in the Heat of the Night.
