Joel Crothers ♥
ReplyDeleteWhen Joel Crothers died, he was on SANTA BARBARA as Jack Lee
ReplyDeleteJoel Crothers aka Dr. Miles Cavenaugh. Cannot believe he was only 44. Loved EON. We lost a # of characters from EON around that same time -- Det. Calvin Stoner, Chief Derek Mallory.
ReplyDeleteIt would have been lots of fun to hang out w/ those guys in NYC before the crisis hit.
Pierpaolo, that was a dual role on Santa Barbara, right? He was playing a lookalike cousin.
ReplyDeleteSure on SB, he was Jack Lee and his cousin Jerry Cooper
