I remember him on Streets of San Francisco. IIRC he became Karl Malden's partner after Michael Douglas left the show.
Damn, I'm really showing my age here. |

Met him at a con a few years ago and asked him about Malden, just to be the guy who didn't ask another question about BG. He was very nice, and nice to my son who was with me.
