Guest ajlposh Posted April 17, 2013 Don't know how accurate this is (Probably a better chance that it isn't, but I could be wrong), but apparently he had another stroke recently http://www.nationalenquirer.com/cele...-sad-last-days Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phantom 2,533 Posted September 9, 2013 For someone who has suffered several strokes, he's still quite active and is going to be starring in the sequel to The Ultimate Gift Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Altroieri 6 Posted September 10, 2013 For someone who has suffered several strokes, he's still quite active and is going to be starring in the sequel to The Ultimate Gift Considering that the film was originally released in October 2006, and that Garner is "onscreen for less than a minute", it probably doesn't say that much about his current condition.

Altroieri 6 Posted September 10, 2013 The Ultimate Gift was released in 2006, but the sequel called The Ultimate Life is yet to come. Sorry, I didn't make myself clear. Garner's "appearance" in the 2013 sequel is archival footage, per "The Official James Garner Fan Page". That footage looks to be lifted directly from the original film (see the 2006 trailer). The website for the 2013 film doesn't even list Garner as being in the cast. In any event, I wouldn't make a decision to take Garner off a dead pool entry based on the release of the sequel.

Rotten Ali 600 Posted July 20, 2014 Ditto, big investment pays off for me. Now how many pools did I have him in? Sad loss for the world of acting. One of the few to bring to the fore a depth in role that he brought to the screen as Jim Rockford. Maybe the epitome of the private investigation service providers. His portray of the bullish yank in The Great Escape was too underrated. His portray of the bullish yank in Grand Prix was too underrated. And his portray of the bullish yank in that western series was too overrated. Big guy, big death... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nah he's another good one who got took off so we could have Ed Asner and Luise "Who?" Rainer (the DL committee seemed to get confused and temporarily thought they were contestants on an episode of "Pointless"). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pistol Knight 49 Posted July 20, 2014 Sounds funny but the guy never really reached headlines as a Hollywood Great, but in truth could act with the best of them. The Great Escape, Rockford files are well documented, but roles in films such as "Support your local sherrif", Space Cowboys, and Duel at Diablo proves he had the range and capability to take on leading roles. Sometimes actors and actresses end up being type cast for particular roles and if that was one failing Garner had it was this. Personally I enjoyed his style of acting, as it differed from many of the main stream actors of his era. The usual cliché of there are not any actors like him is a fitting tribute in my book.
