The hidden illness that took this Hollywood legend’s life

Born in 1934, this talented actor and TV director had a career that spanned over three decades. He’s best known for playing a character named David Banner in the late ’70s and early ’80s — and trust us, you definitely wouldn’t like him when he’s angry! Sadly, he passed away too soon in 1993…

For over 30 years, this American television icon benefited from his talent, both on-screen and behind the camera.

His easygoing charm didn’t go unnoticed. Colleague Ray Walston highlighted this as a key reason for his popularity, saying:

”I believe that was the reason people liked him — instantly and completely.”
