R.I.P. Rod Holcomb

[greenguy]

Sad news to report, Rod Holcomb who directed TGAH pilot, The Hit Car. and a few other episodes passed away last week after a long illness. Holcomb directed many many 70s and 80s TV favorites and far beyond those 2 decades in his career. With directing the first two shows out of the gate for TGAH he set the bar high for other directors to reach. When Cannell felt the pressure by ABC to break format on the series with The Shock Will Kill You, Holcomb was the director he turned to and he pulled it off given what he had to work with. One of my director heroes since I was 11 or 12 years old. R.I.P. Mr. Holcomb.
