R.I.P. Ron Thompson

[greenguy]

The Reaper's scythe has claimed another GAH alumni. Ron Thompson who played the part of the guard that harassed Ira Hagert in The Good Samaritan has passed away. Thompson did not have the background in television that other GAH actors had, but he did appear in The Waltons, Quincy M.E., Bronk, Amy Prentiss, and several episodes of Stephen J. Cannell's Baretta. Strangely enough Bruce Kessler who recently died directed The Good Samaritan. Let's hope this doesn't come in 3's and we lose someone else from the episode. Rest in peace Mr. Thompson, thank you for contributing your talents to TGAH.
