RIP Mickey Jones

[palitoy]

Man, this guy got around, whenever TV needed a hillbilly type, there he was, Sanford and Son, V, Vacation and he even was on a "Get a Life".

What I didn't know was that he was the drummer for the first edition!

Oh lord, the "500 dolla" guy from Vacation!

[Mikey]

He actually wasn't Cal on Sanford --- That was Dennis Berkley

Common mistake that I've made tons of times

RIP

He seemed like he was the same age for 40 years. RIP.

Had to look him up. Never knew his name. He'll always be Ham's friend from "V" for me. Rest in Peace.

He was also the drummer for The Band, when Dylan went electric. Of course, Levon Helm was the classic drummer for The Band, but Mickey was the drummer for a bit.

May he rest in peace.

He was like Chewbacca to Ham Tyler. Rest in Peace.

I think his best role was "Ricky" on The Incredible Hulk...very touching episode.

Don't sweat it. The first thing I though when I saw his picture was I remember him from Night Court. Nope, it's Dennis Berkley.

Knew him from V/Vacation... recognized him in Total Recall... did NOT recognize him in Sling Blade (great flick) Great actor: RIP

[Bravestarr]

Remember him from V the Final Battle 1984 and V the tv series 1985-1986 RIP
