TIP O' THE HAT SQUAD (J.D. CANNON)

"In this entire world I can't imagine any good news for me."
Harry Briscoe
'Alias Smith And Jones'

Actor J.D. Cannon passed away the other day at the age of 83.

Looking over the collection of headlines in Google News regarding the death of J.D. Cannon, one would think 'Law & Order' was the greatest role he played in Toobworld. Most of those obit writers must not realize how many fans of classic TV are out there; they must figure most people out there would only recognize that one show. And yet Mr. Cannon had a lengthy career full of highlights which people would recognize. Given the chance to view such a list, I'm sure many of them would remember him in one of those other roles, if they didn't always remember his name.

So with thanks to the Internet Movie Database, I'd like to present such a list......
