Remember him in movies with James Garner. Looked up his list of movies, don't see how he ever had a single minute to take a vacation. Classic western movies...

Jack was born November 13, 1920 and he died October 20, 2003 at age 82. He was in his first film, a short in 1944 and his last part was in "Lonesome Dove" the series in 1995. He was married twice and has 3 children. During the 1950's through 1980's he was always working on one film project or another.
