Simon MacCorkindale R.I.P.

[greenguy]

MacCorkindale lost his battle with cancer. He will probably be best remembered by people on this board from his starring roll in Manimal, and the film The Sword and The Sorcerer. He also appeared in various tv series such as The Dukes of Hazzard, Matt Houston, Falcon Crest, Dynasty, Hart to Hart and many others. I remember watching him years ago when USA Network broadcast his series Counterstrike, and who can forget MacCorkindale coming back as Manimal on the syndicated series Nightman.

Well maybe some forgot, not as if Manimal or Nightman were hits. However he was one of the guys I ran into quite a bit on tv as I was growing up and it's sad to see him go.

That's sad, but I guess I didn't come across him that much.

Wow, didn't know that he, like SJC, was fighting cancer. I actually enjoyed his work on "Manimal" and "Falcon Crest," though the latter he found a bit irritating because Jane Wyman was so difficult to work with in his opinion.

There was a charm about him that made those shows and his roles work, and yes - I remember the "Nightman" episode where he returned and showed that the show could've worked if they had the equipment they had at the time of "Nightman" back when the original show was on.
