I'm a Rockford files fan, I have every episode up to and including season 5. One more season to go.

Anyone else enjoy his work?

Yes, "Suport Your Local Sheriff" was one of my favorites.
He's done a lot of good work including the Rockford Files!

Space Cowboys and Murphy's Romance were good movies, too.

I liked Garner's comedy wit in 8 Simple Rules tv show playing the cranky grandfather.

And lets not forget the movie "Tank".

I loved the tv show, I liked that he got beaten up a lot. Made the character seem more real.

Maverick!

Early 60's western in black & white where he was a poker playing, womanizing cowboy (learned everything from his "pappy")

PR :burnout:

I wonder if we should send him an e-card.

I can't believe no one has mentioned Grand Prix yet.

By all accounts he's an excellent driver and could have gone proffesional but choose acting instead.

I anyone sends him a card I hope they mention he should stop smoking. ;)

He used to race Corvettes at the 24 hours of Daytona in the 60's.
