    Yeah, he ruled. He was the original Kwai Chang Caine (in heavy makeup) when the network axed him for Carradine. He did the show though and it was great.

          As a nerd kid/adult I always thought it would be great to see a Denny Miller vs William Smith fight.

          Both mostly TV tough nasties...

          Love Denny (to me he'll always be Moose from Jeannie) … But no contest --- William Smith would, (as Art Carney would say) twist Denny into a pretzel

            Yes, he was in many things, he was in the final season of Hawaii Five-0 after James MacArthur left, he played one of the detectives.

                I was going to mention that appearance too...

                I also liked him in the series "Laredo"...

                RIP.

                  He was the great. He was in so many things that I've enjoyed. I couldn't pick just one, although his starring role in Grave of the Vampire was pretty awesome.
                  OH MAN! I just remembered he was the Conan's father and has some of the best lines in the film "Fire and Wind come from the sky, from the gods of the sky..."

                        Also the voice of Draaga on the Justice League episode "Warworld". That's probably the worst episode of the series, but as always, he was great in it. The story was just kinda meh.

                        I recently watched Invasion of the Bee Girls. Fun flick! Nice to see him as a good guy, too!

                            I’ll always remember him as Tolar (POTA) and Falconetti (Rich Man/Poor Man).
