And here I was thinking that he'd been dead for the last thirty years!

I grew up watching him on those and other programs. And films as well. A familar face and an old friend leaves us again. As Kirk Douglas said to Burt Landcaster in the "Train Robbers" (I think that was the name), "Gettin old is hell ain't it!"
Rest in God's peace, old friend

There goes another one of the good "bad-guy" actors. He was also able to play a really funny drunk...
Rest in peace.

NO-ONE could play the "bad guy" like ole squintty eyed Jack! He sure brought a presence to western movies He always seemed to get killed early on in the movies. He was great in "Once Upon A Time In The West"

He was awesome in Cannonball Run.
To: Bikers4Bush
He completely steals the opening scene of "Once Upon a Time in the West."
Not bad in "Rio Lobo" either.

"Support Your Local Sheriff" has always been a favorite of mine. Jack Elam, rest in peace.

If memory serves me correct he played a texas ranger or other good guy in a tv series called "The Dakotas", must have been in the 60's. It also starred Nevil Brand and a younger guy who I can picture but can't place his name. A good western tv show.

I loved that guy! I also thought he'd been dead for years.

He was awesome in Cannonball Run. 
Wasn't that movie where he played a drunken gynecologist?

I agree... Both "Support Your Local Sheriff" and "Support Your Local Gunfighter" were very funny movies.

The very same. Squirts drugs right into his mouth, I was rolling.
To: NormsRevenge
His part in Support Your Local Sheriff, as James Garner's deputy, was hilarious. He did comedy well, as well as playing bad guys.
