[Brazelton] Higgy Baby - John Hillerman

This hits a little hard. I really liked him in Magnum P.I.
I've been re-watching the series lately. I really like his character more than I did Magnum.

And who could forget...

Seeing that movie after seeing him for so long in Magnum was a shock just for the accent alone.

Now we'll never know if he was really Robin all along.

The first couple of seasons had Higgins and Robin together several times. The show even used Orson Welles as the voice of Robin. He clearly did not perform his own stunts.

Yeah, I know we've seen the back of Robin's head driving away, but there are those of us who still believe.

Magnum PI was such a cool show. Selleck would have been a kickass Indiana Jones, IMO. I wish they had filmed both versions.

I didn't realize Hillerman was in Blazing Saddles and Chinatown. I remember the character Howard Johnson though. I need to rewatch that.
