Robert Urich

 

[Pocatello]

He was the star of "Spencer for Hire" TV show, still one of my favorite show on cable rerun.
A sad day .

 

[Geekbabe]

I liked Spenser for Hire

Heard it on NPR this morning. Very sad.

<< whi is this person and why have i never heard of him >>


Dunno...he's been in a few movies and starred in at least 3 TV series.
Not to mention countless after-school specials and made-for-TV movies...

$5 says you've seen him but didn't know him.

 

[Kenny0829]

Yep heard this on the news this morning.
Only 55 years old...
Dammed.
Cancer SUCKS..

 

[aphex]

Rest in peace...

 

[yakko]

I used to watch him in Spenser For Hire.

 

[wyvrn]

Wow that sucks. Spencer was one of my favorite shows growing up. Wasn't Cisco from DS9 on that show too?

<< $5 says you've seen him but didn't know him. >>


To help put things in perspective, he's also the Cybersonic Toothbrush ad spokesman. I think he also pitched for another toothbrush before this one. I'm sure everyone's seen at least one of those things...

 

[NFS4]

DAMN!!!:| Spencer for Hire rocked!!!! And he had that sidekick (Hawk) that carried that big ass gun with the long barrel

 

[Yo Ma Ma]

That's very sad, seemed to put up a good fight while he could.

He was also in Lonesome Dove, good actor.

 

[Pliablemoose]

Loved Spenser for Hire, hate that he's gone

 

[UltraQuiet]

<< Wow that sucks. Spencer was one of my favorite shows growing up. Wasn't Cisco from DS9 on that show too? >>


Yeah that was Avery Brooks, the guy who they should have cast as SHAFT instead of Samuel L. Jackson.

[tdog44632]

He was also in S.W.A.T. one of my favorite old shows . I hope Nick at Night plays something in tribute.

Tony

 

[b0mbrman]

Yes. That's very sad. I recall there was at least 2 of his shows I watched when I was younger

 

[Rudee]

Another innocent victim lost to Cancer. Damn, I hate that disease.

 

[bigrash]

that's sad. I thought he was doing pretty good recovering, but I guess it gets to you sooner or later. Cancer does suck

 

[camembert]

He was a really enjoyable actor. Only 55, just a few years older than my parents.
