x-no-archive: yes

He was born the same day a cousin of mine was (Oct. 20, 1948), so he was 59
(adjusted header).

I remember him only from the tv-movie ("Black Sheep Squadron" as 'Lt. Don
French') and tv-series "Baa Baa, Black Sheep" (1976).

added alt.tv.navy-ncis 'cause there's a lot of JAG fans there.

Just to be specific about his most relevant (and IMO best) credits
above:

Mackay played Bud Roberts' father, Big Bud on JAG

And, of course, he played French on Baa Baa Black Sheep, as well as
Stephen Collins's sidekick Corky on Tales of the Gold Monkey.

Austin CBS affiliate has been showing all of the 50s/60s/70s/80s cop
shows on its DTV 2 channel. I've been recording Perry Mason for
viewing.
