July 25th saw the passing of John Saxon. He leavesbehind an amazing career as an actor that covers everything from major studiowork to leads in foreign films (particularly Italian ones) as well as decadesof featured roles in several classic network television shows. He starredalongside everyone from Marlon Brando to Bruce Lee and was directed byfilmmakers as diverse as Otto Preminger, Mario Bava, John Sturges and WesCraven. As that c.v. suggests, he was an actor who could be counted on for astrong, committed performance in whatever setting he was placed - and as aresult, he spent several years working steadily around the world.
