As many in my generation, I met him as Jim West and never missed an episode.
Later, he introduced me to a real WWII hero and started my never dying love for Corsairs as Pappy Boyington.
And his best character IMHO and the backbone of the best miniseries ever: Pasquinel in Centennial.
Damn….
When I was a kid I never missed an episode of TWWW. Awesome show with an original premise that never failed to entertain. RIP, Robert Conrad…
