RIP James Garner
« on: July 20, 2014, 04:08:04 AM »
Actor and racer James Garner has passed away 7/19/2014...cause of death not yet known...

He was my favorite actor, and kind of a mentor, I guess...I remember his definition of acting as being in a situation where you're trying to make people believe that you're saying things you've rehearsed over and over for the first time.  That always served me well in school.

That's a bummer. A man's mas, a solid actor, and a real car nut.

For we enthusiasts in the UK, the film "Grand Prix" is actually, and fortuitously, being televised on BBC2 today. Pure coincidence, but a nice touch all the same.

RIP James. I get the impression from obituaries that you were one of the nice guys.
