Growing up we watched Shogun & Thorn Birds way too much.

I liked Richard Chamberlain for a long time.

I enjoyed his charisma caught on film.

I have Shogun lined up for another watch.

I enjoy his version of King Solomon's Mines.

And, I like him in Centennial.

he was a great, under rated actor. 90 is a good long life though. RIP
