Any fans out there for the work of the late American actor Victor "Vic" Morrow?
          I only know from him one of the best early episodes of Bonanza called 'The Avenger" in which he is a guest star on, and really shines throughout.
        Checked him on Wikipedia, and he was born in 1929 and died horribly in 1982 while filming a segment of Twilight Zone-the movie, when a helicopter used in filming fell on him and two children,killing them instantly.
          I am interested in learning more about him, especially other things he acted in.

The TV series "Combat". He was one of the lead actors on that.

I soured on Morrow when I learned what an extreme right-winger he was. I believe Jennifer Jason Leigh is his daughter (who didn't much like her dad's politics either, I imagine).

I did not realise that about him, and that does not go good in my books either.

Which is worse?....Vic Morrow being a John Bircher or Tom Cruise being a Scientologist?

Politics aside, he was a great actor, and i think i still would like to see more of his work. Anybody out there actually seen the Combat series?

I would recommend it. It is out on DVD and there are some clips on youtube.
