Stephen J. Cannell, legendary writer, producer and sometime actor has passed away at age 69, after a bout with cancer.
In a career that stretched back to the early seventies, Cannell created some of the most memorable and beloved characters on TV. The Rockford Files broke new ground with a hero who didn't always get the girl, didn't always win the fight and didn't always get paid for sticking his neck out. In other words, we could identify with Jim Rockford. We liked Cannell's characters and cared about what happened to them.
He was a talented writer with a gift for capturing the spirit of unlikely heroes. He will be missed.
