There are a number of on-screen reporters I remember as a kid… Jimmy Olson, heck, Clark Kent even. But there’s one that sticks out in my mind the most, mainly due to the fact that he used to terrify the brown stuff out of me with his eerie glare and the promise to ruin the life of Dr. David Banner - the love-to-hate Jack McGee from The Incredible Hulk. Unfortunately Jack Colvin, who played Mr. McGee in the highly successful television show during the 1970’s, passed away on Thursday at his North Hollywood home through “complications following a stroke”, he was 71 years old.

A cnn.com article goes on:

Colvin died Thursday in North Hollywood of complications following a stroke, said his longtime friend, actress Maaren Edvard, an instructor and administrator at Michael Chekhov Studio USA West, which was founded by Colvin.“Jack was, in every sense of the word, a consummate artist,” Edvard said. “He wrote, painted and read philosophy, but he always came back to acting.”

Colvin appeared in numerous TV shows, including “The Rat Patrol,” “Kojak,” “The Six Million Dollar Man,” “The Rockford Files,” “Cagney and Lacey” and “Murder, She Wrote.” He also had minor roles in several films, including “Scorpio” and “Rooster Cogburn.”

Truly a sad loss of one of television’s lesser known superstars, yet a face those in their thirties will easily forget.
