Kevin Dobson dead at 77


Kevin Dobson, who costarred on CBS' 'Kojak' as Detective Bobby Crocker (1973-78) and CBS' long running night time soap "Knots Landing" as Mack MacKenzie (1982 - 1993) passed away September 6 from a heart-attack. His agent also confirmed he was suffering from an 'auto-immune deficiency' for a while. He was 77 years old.

I haven't heard of this actor before but he looks quite a bit like my Dad in his younger years in that photo, which is kind of weird.

RIP.

You never saw Kojak?!

Never.

He also co-starred with Barbra Streisand in the (awful) comedy 'All Night Long' in 1981. I believe that was the only movie he ever made - he stuck with CBS television series back then, and they were very, very, good to him.

reply

Yes, I know him from Kojak, but more know him from Knots Landing. It's weird that not many actors from that era ('70s & earlier) are left. I knew he was one of the only ones from Kojak left.

RIP

He was one of the good ones. He will be missed.
