We lost a very talented and prolific actor.

He had a long and productive career and seemed to pop up everywhere. Even in the not too strong Birds of a Feather on MPI he put in a good performance. RIP

I saw earlier today that he passed but I completely forgot that Shaft was on MPI.
Wasn't there a SHAFT IN AFRICA? I think we're lucky to have gotten SHAFT IN HAWAII.

That was my reaction, I couldn't recall what episode he was on, which is odd considering what a strong actor he was.

Not many people realize he was quoting Sgt. Major Higgins to then Princess Elizabeth as he squired her around the grounds of the Higgins ancestral home.
