John Saxon has died

John Saxon appeared in all sorts of TV programmes when I was young and square-eyed. I started noticing that a show or a film might be low budget but he would always be good in it. I particularly remember Planet Earth, a pilot for a series that never happened, with a cast made up of many actors who had worked with Gene Roddenberry (who wrote it) before.

And then there was Enter the Dragon, where he was one of Bruce Lee's rival martial artists.

He was 83, and died of pneumonia.
