a prison drama featuring Paul Newman and George Kennedy.
A native of Salmon, Idaho, Cannon graduated from the American Academy of
Dramatic Arts. He served in the Army during World War II.
Cannon is survived by his wife and two brothers. Burial will be in Cedar

According to the photos, he was "chief" on "McCloud". He was on
everything, one of the character actors I always liked and who was
everywhere in the 70s and 80s.

I remember that, in the '70s, McDonald's had a commercial with Cannon
to counter the rumor that McDonald's was using worm meat as fillers in
the hamburgers because of beef shortages. Cannon showed slabs of
good-looking beef to the camera and pretty much said, "See? Ours." He
brought great authority to it.

Okay. NOW that I have seen a definitive obit, I can include J.D. Cannon
on my list. Since his death wasnt reported until after June 1st he wouldnt
have been on my June update anyway, but thats a minor point.

Up until "McCloud," Cannon may have been best known as the witness who
cleared Richard Kimble of his wife's murder in the final two episodes
of "The Fugitive."

This was apparently a very disguise-dependent episode ... Diane
Baker and John Milford are barely recognizable.
