Jan-Michael Vincent, the ‘80s star best known for his role on TV’s hit series “Airwolf,” has died.
According to a death certificate from a North Carolina hospital published by TMZ Friday, the actor passed away on Feb. 10 after suffering a cardiac arrest. The document shows Vincent was 73 at the time of his death and that no autopsy was performed. The cause of death was listed as cardiac arrest. The former heartthrob’s final role was in 2002’s “White Boy.” Before Vincent’s rise to stardom, he appeared in 1978’s “Hooper” alongside Burt Reynolds, followed by “Hard Country” opposite Kim Basinger in 1981. He steadily worked in Hollywood for three decades and appeared in numerous hit TV shows, including “Lassie,” “Bonanza” and “Gunsmoke,” among others. “Airwolf,” which aired from 1984 until 1986, told the tale of renegade pilot Stringfellow Hawke, who goes on missions with an advanced battle helicopter as part of a deal with an intelligence agency to look for his missing brother. The CBS series made Vincent a massive star and at the time was reportedly the highest-paid actor, earning a whopping $200G per episode. Still, TMZ noted “Airwolf” lasted only a couple of seasons largely in part to Vincent’s cocaine abuse. In 2012, Vincent cheated death after suffering from an infection that required his right leg to be amputated. He is survived by his wife, Patricia, and his daughter, Amber. https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/airwolf-star-jan-michael-vincent-dead-report That sucks, that two actors dead this week. Last week one of the Soprano's actors who was also in Good Fellas died. This has already been a bad year so far for Celebrity deaths...…….

A good friend of the family/actor also died named Kristoff St. John. He was only 52. But he had suffered a long time after losing his child years earlier. I dont know if many here will know or remember him. He played opposite Shemar Moore in Y and R.

I dont know if many here will know or remember him. He played opposite Shemar Moore in Y and R. I remember him and I remember Shemar back from those days. Now he is gone on to bigger and better things headlining two two ten rated shows back to back first with Criminal Minds, now with SWAT. I only hope he comes back as a reoccurring guest for the final season of Criminal Minds. I could see that happening because he only left over Thomas Gibson. |

He was the co-star of the original Mechanic opposite Charles Bronson. |
