RIP Martin Milner (Pete Malloy Adam-12)

[HardyGirl]

RIP Martin. Funny thing is I was watching Adam-12 a couple of hours ago, before I went to the store. He was great in that show.

I'm saddened to hear this--I enjoyed him in Adam-12 and many other performances. Just yesterday, he was the victim on Columbo. I think the first thing I saw him in was Life with Father, a favorite of mine on TCM. RIP.

We just watched him roast Dean martin today. Very sad.

[TrekStar]

That really stinks, he also did many 1950 movies, like westerns which he usually played a cavalry soldier,
and he made a couple of movies opposite John Wayne, and I think he was also in the movie, The Longest Day?

He had a long connection to Jack Webb going all the way back to the 1950's incarnation of Dragnet. May he RIP and condolences to his family. Also saw that Randy Mantooth(Emergency!) has disclosed that he's been diagnosed with cancer.

Loved and still love Adam-12. Watch it whenever I can. RIP Mr. Milner.

I know him best from the reruns of Route 66 Nick at Nite aired many MANY years ago. RIP.

Wasn't he the villain in 13 Ghosts?

I love "Adam-12" and he was so damn good as Officer Malloy. I still like to watch "Adam-12" to this day and find it is holding up very well for me.

Just a theory but I bet his character in "Route 66" was most likely responsible for the name "Tod" (or Todd) becoming briefly popular (or seeing its peak numbers as a name) from the early to late 60s.

Sad news, for sure. May he rest in peace.


I know that I'm weird, but I used to prefer to watch "Adam-12" and "Emergency!" over cartoons, when, later on in the 70's, they aired during the afternoon.

Sorry to hear this. I loved ADAM-12 back in the '70s and he was great as Pete Malloy. Rest In Peace.

Many condolences to Mr. Milner's family and friends on his passage. Loved him on ADAM 12. May you Rest Peacefully.

My Dad was a cop in NY. He had a friend/partner that looked a bit like Malloy so as a kid, I always thought that Adam-12 was about my Dad's friend. I would watch every episode hoping that Dad would show up somewhere to assist. It wasn't until later (maybe around first grade) that I understood that the show was about LA not NY cops and that Malloy and Reed were fictional characters.

I'm just reading about this. Man, it's sad to see all of your Childhood heroes falling one after another. Martin Milner/Pete Malloy Rest in Peace.
