Your vast queue contains Simon, King of the Witches (as the eponymous warlock); The Eliminators; V: Mini-Series/The Final Battle; The EvilTerror Circus (Nightmare Circus/Barn of the Naked Dead); Night Slaves; Witchhouse 2: Blood Coven; The Town the Dreaded Sundown '76; Crypt of the Living Dead (aka Vampire Women/Young Hannah, Queen of the Vampires); Wonder Woman '74; Lords of Salem; Amityville II: The Possession; Boy with the X-Ray Eyes (aka X-Ray Boy); Serial KillerGrizzly; One Little Indian; Texas Across the RiverThe Winds of Autumn; Bandolero!Chisum; Rooster Cogburn; Gettysburg; Gods and Generals; Lost FlightCritical MassCenterfold Girls; Along Came a Spider '70; Without Evidence; Dark DancerThey're Playing with Fire; plus a whole bunch more.  

You were also an ubiquitous guest-starring force on such series as The Fugitive (the original); Kung Fu (the original); GunsmokeTombstone TerritoryOverland Trail; Combat!; The DefendersThe Family HolvakMurder, She WroteHart to Hart; The Fall GuyBarnaby Jones; Dr. Kildare; Trapper JohnTarzan (with Ron Ely); The Bionic WomanOne Step Beyond, Alfred Hitchcock Presents; DarkroomFreddy's Nightmares; Star Trek: Deep Space Nine; and of course, as the recurring, second half of the Guthrie Brothers (with good ol' Earl Holliman) on the sprawling Wide Country

With such a stupendous queue, Mr. Pine, you'll be as richly remembered as you'll be dearly missed; and you'll certainly continue to impact our lives whenever we (re)experience your perennial treasures.
