I miss James Garner

Watched him in an old episode of the Rockford Files and he was such a likable performer.

He was. I miss him too.

He was, and a very nice guy, too. I recommend his autobiography, The Garner Files -- even though he slams my beloved Bruce Willis pretty hard. Bruce was pretty full of himself back when they made a movie together. But that was the worst casting decision anyone ever made. Not Garner, of course. You just don't tap a streetwise guy from Jersey with no facility for accents to play an Oklahoma cowboy. They should have waited until Robert Duvall was available. Sunset could have been a great movie. Willis wrecked it.

Garner, on the other hand, enhanced any project he was in.

He was wonderful and so handsome! Good lord. I just watched Murphy's Romance the other night and thought he was sexy even as he aged 🥰

I don't like all of his performances, but he did make that show.

The ROCKFORD FILES was good wholesome 70's Detective show and they don't make em like they used to

The Rockford Files was great entertainment. And he was always enjoyable to watch in other things.
