(hat off)

Respect


Where I'm from, he's better remembered as Zeb Macahan, but the *hat off* sentiment remains the same.

Dude, that blows. He was awesome. Also played the monster in the original The Thing from Another World (1951).

We lost one of the great ones. R.I.P.

Excellent in the first giant bug movie - "Them!", had a huge impact on me as a child. He will be missed.

FYI - The flamethrowers and rifles in 'Them!' were actual surplus weapons from WWII, since both actors (Whitmore & Arness) had combat experience handling them they gave them real deal. Always added a level of "badass" to the movie.

Didn't it though?
