L. Q. Jones, RIP

L. Q. Jones passed away at 94.

https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/l-q-jones-boy-his-dog-director-western-actor-dead-94

The younger crowd probably won't know who he is, but us over-50 folks will instantly recognize him. He was everywhere, movies and TV, in the late 50's through early 80's. Interesting to learn that Fess Parker was his college room mate.

RIP.

Brad

I remember that face and the Boy and His Dog.  Been a while since I watched that one.

Didn't know the name, but the face is familiar.

I am a 45-year-old whipper-snapper.

A Boy and His Dog was an excellent novella by Harlan Ellison, and the movie was pretty faithful to it.  Starring a very young Don Johnson before he became famous in Miami Vice.

I didn't know he directed A Boy and His Dog, but recognized him from probably dozens of episodes of Gunsmoke and other westerns.

RIP Mr. Jones.

I'm a 78-year-old whipper-snapper. I also didn't recognize the name, but I recognized the face immediately. He was one of my favorite character actors.

He was also the crazy "3-Fingered Jack" in the Antonio Banderas "Mask of Zorro" in 1998.

That's what I recognized him from.
