Gammon died Friday surrounded by his family at his daughter's home in Costa Mesa, where he and his wife, Nancy, had been living. He had cancer of the adrenal glands and the liver.
Gammon may be best known for his role as Lou Brown, manager of the hapless Cleveland Indians in the 1989 comedy 'Major League' and its 1994 sequel. He stood out with key roles in many films including 'Urban Cowboy,' 'The Milagro Beanfield War,' 'Leaving Normal,' 'Ironweed,' 'Silverado' and 'Cold Mountain.'"
Hat tip to Toby O'Brien.

He was great in SILVERADO and the TV series CRIME STORY. Rest in peace.
Rest in peace.
I liked his turn as Nash Bridges" father as well.
Bummer. I was going to mention NASH BRIDGES too, Randy.

Mr. Gammons was great also in the show HOMEFRONT, dispensing advice to Jeff about his lovelife.
He did an episode of "In The Heat Of The Night" where he had to be a witness to an execution in the state prison and the only way he could get through it was to keep staring at a picture postcard. Great job he did on that, sticks with me to this day.....
