Yet another fine actor has died this week

I remember him in McCloud - loved that - and "Duel", one of my favourite films. He left behind some great work.

I loved Duel. What a debut movie by Spielberg.

R.I.P. Dennis "You can't beat me on the grade" Weaver.

Yeah, I'm old...I actually DO remember him as "Chester" before he got the McCloud role. Duel was awesome!

I've been known to say those very words whenever a truck driver gives me a hard time on the road - the memory of Dennis Weaver will live on every time that happens

oh dear....RIP Dennis..he was good in Gentle Ben and McCloud wasn't he.
On a slightly creepy note, he's the third one this week beginning with a D!
