Robert Horton (Co-star of Wagon Train) Hugh O'Brian (Star of The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp) Clint Walker (Star of Cheyenne) Clu Gulager (Co-star of The Tall Man) Ty Hardin (Star of Bronco) Will Hutchins (Co-star of Sugarfoot) I think O'Brian and possibly Clint Walker are "obitable".

YoungWillz 21,076 Posted October 17, 2015 Must say I was in a quandary to place this, but hey, we on this side of the pond would put him here. Andrew Rubin, actor, possibly best known as George Miller the cadet in the original Police Academy, has died at 69 from lung cancer. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/andrew-rubin-dead-police-academy-832720 He also had roles in Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman, Petrocelli, Ironside, the 1970s The Odd Couple, Hometown and Joe Bash.

YoungWillz 21,076 Posted November 20, 2015 ^^ charon do you mean The Awakening, the dreadful made for tv movie? Repossessed was about The Exorcist? Edit: Just checked IMDB for the fourth film, everyone's alive apart from Don S Davis and David Cameron (the actor, not the PM). No doubt they'll start falling like flies now! If there's someone who does pass on and they have a credit in the fourth film, please mention it, even if it's not their finest hour. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
