Papa Walton
« on: February 13, 2014, 08:17:00 pm »
We have lost another great actor - Ralph Waite. 

PEOPLE MAGAZINE


Ralph Waite, known to millions as John Walton Sr. on the warmhearted 1970s TV series The Waltons – and, more recently, as the Mark Harmon character's father, Jackson "Jack" Gibbs, on the CBS hit NCIS – died at his Palm Desert home at about 11 a.m. Thursday, according to the Desert Sun. He was 85.

I am really sorry to hear that Ralph Waite (Papa Walton) passed.  I watch the Waltons when I get a chance.  I still like the ending, "Goodnight, John Boy".  RIP Ralph Waite. :( :( :( :rainbow:

I never watched the Walton's on any kind of regular basis but when I did watch it I enjoyed it.  I think Ralph Waite was mostly not appreciated for his acting skills but I thought he did a really good job!  He will be missed by many.

I know, there really aren't GREAT actors any more ... may be James Spader ... he's sooo good in the Blacklist.

Anyway, it's another hole in the universe when people like Papa Walton pass.

I never saw The Waltons but I do remember him from NCIS. Very sad indeed. Feels like we're losing a lot of talent lately.

Love, love, love The Blacklist.  James Spader is SUPERB.
