That's too bad, he was an entertaining actor that I've been watching since a kid. Space Cowboys was just on HBO this afternoon. RIP Maverick.

Given ages, we may see other big names going this year. :(

Per previous... Just saw him with Clint Eastwood, Tommy Lee Jones, and Donald Sutherland on Space Cowboys.. I also have watched him all my life... Starting with Maverick ( 50's, 60's ?? ) Noah ( The Notebook ) is dead.. That was a chick flick... but I enjoyed it so much..

Korea vet, two-time Purple Heart Recipient, supporter of the troops. Far more than just an actor.

Been one of my lifetime favorite actors. R.I.P.

I think "The Great Escape" was my favorite film he was a (co) star in.

I just watched "The Notebook" last week as it has been running on one of the TrueVisions movie channels.
My brain is like an Internet browser; 12 tabs are open and 5 of them are not responding, there's a GIF playing in an endless loop,... and where is that annoying music coming from?

My favorite poker face, he-man, detective, cowboy. Second to none. The John Wayne of our times.
