I really liked him very much. Though he may well have wished for more theatrical films, his presence on TV shows always elevated them so they felt more like big screen events. I know that he was married to Suzy Parker for many years; he wrote some books, one of which dealt with his life-long passion pro-football. In fact, I think he was even solicited by some teams for his skill as a football talent scout.
