Adam-12's Martin Milner Goes Permanent 10-7

[gun sane]

The TV cop who seemingly always did the job right died Sunday. Marty Milner was a great actor and got me thinking about becoming an LEO. Other things got in the way, but I totally enjoyed his performances.

WOAD Milner was a police recruters poster boy of what represented what we wanted in a police officer. I do believe that Adam-12 helped generate an increased intrest in police work for myself and others. It was far less edgy and conflicted then the Police Story and subsiquent police procedural dramas. His Route 66 series was something I remembered but was so young at the time I don't recall any episodes. I've recently watched some episodes on U-Tube and recognized a lot of actors who later became noteworthy.

Milner remained married to his wife until his death, raised a houseful of kids with her and loast one of his grown daughters to cancer. He treated acting as a profession with emphisis on its being a job and I noticed that.

Yes, Milner was a mainstay of early Hollywood tv shows and movies. He always seemed the gentleman and never was known to abuse fame; as many are doing now.

That was back before Hollywood got so corrupt and TV stars had respect and dignity for their jobs, which is not found that often today..........jmho

I was always astounded at how he could answer umpteen calls in one episode, when in real life at the time one call would tie you up on reports for the rest of the day. Ah yes, Hollywood.

 

Milner was a good guy and I'm sorry he's gone.
