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.

"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.

His part in Support Your Local Sheriff, as James Garner's deputy, was hilarious. He did comedy well, as well as playing bad guys.

I did not realize who he was. He is in the crossword puzzles a lot.

Jack Elam was one of the classic western bad guys. He was also good as a comedic foil. I am getting old.......he was wonderful.

Didn't he also play "Toothy Thompson" on some TV show..."Sugarfoot" maybe?

Jack made every movie he was ever in better just by being in it.
God bless his family and may he rest in peace.

Muttly brokenhearted since last night.

Muttly was his dog. Then he loaned me to Mister Dastardly for further training...which believe me...I GOT !

He was so nice to young Muttly. He always shared his hip-flask with me. That is...after I stole something for him.

I used to have a chihuahua that looked just like Jack.

Jack Elam acted in some of the best movies ever made and he was always entertaining. He'll be missed.

RIP Mr. Elam.
