\"\"
\nIt was reported today that Jan-Michael Vincent died on February 10th of cardiac arrest in Asheville, North Carolina.\u00a0 Vincent was 74 and hadn’t acted in nearly two decades due to battles with drugs and alcohol and the results of two car crashes (1996 and 2008) that left him with damaged vocal cords and an amputated leg.\u00a0 It was a sad end to a career that started with such promise.<\/p>\n

I first took notice of Jan-Michael Vincent when he appeared as Link in the Danger Island<\/em> segments of The Banana Splits<\/em>.\u00a0 Vincent then had the starring role in the TV movie The Tribe<\/em>.\u00a0 A couple of years later Vincent co-starred with Charles Bronson in the theatrical release The Mechanic<\/em>.\u00a0 He followed that up with a starring role as The World’s Greatest Athlete<\/em> from Disney.<\/p>\n

With his good looks and easy manner, Vincent was on the verge of a long career starring in theatrical films.\u00a0 Sadly, it just wasn’t to be.\u00a0 Still Vincent had a strong presence and starred or co-starred in films such as Baby Blue Marine, White Line Fever, Big Wednesday<\/em> and Hooper<\/em> (with Burt Reynolds).\u00a0 His best known television projects included The Winds of War<\/em> mini-series and a starring role in the tv series Airwolfe<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Jan-Michael Vincent’s family, friends and fans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
