Very funny multiple-Emmy winning comedic actor Stuart Margolin has died of natural causes, he was 81.
You probably remember him as Angel, as the “sidekick who was a shifty-eyed, backstabbing rat, but also lovable” on The Rockford Files. He was a frequent co-star with James Garner, and I hope that they have a series deal in The Great Beyond. That place could use some comedy.
The Rockford Files was one of the better TV shows from the seventies that featured a great cast and was a lot of fun to watch. Too bad about Stuart, but he lived a good life and had a good career…

Loved The Rockford Files. It was a great place to get the wrong, but very dramatic and entertaining, idea about what P.I.s do for a living.
Off-topic, that show was where I first realized how prolific Post and Carpenter were in that era. Look for those two in the credits and you got the A-list of prime time.

Didn’t we all know a dude like Angel? Snaky but sweet? Always out for himself but would come through for you in the end?
