He absolutely nailed the role of "David Mann" in Steven Spielberg's first feature film "Duel". Not to mention all his other memorable roles. I had a celebrity siting of Dennis Weaver. It was in Blue Jay, California (a mountain resort town). I was in a hardware store getting a key made, and in came Dennis Weaver with several members of his family. He was dressed like McCloud.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 02-27-2006 10:10 PM                     Wow. McCloud is dead. Earlier today I was talking with one of my coworkers about Darren McGavin's passing and recalling Night Stalker episodes. And then we talked a bit about other 70's TV shows we watched when we were just little kids. I mentioned McCloud as well as Dennis Weaver's work in Spielberg's first film Duel. I didn't mention Peter Falk as Columbo (another one of those NBC Mystery Night shows). So maybe he might be safe.  |  IP: Logged
