Death on the Bile Duct

Or
Casualty

Or
Simon Says Nothing
(Cap tip to Greg)

Or
Turning into a Passenger Pigeon Wasn't the Best Idea
(Can I get a whoop whoop for Greg?)

Or
Ailing Simon, Thou Art Dead – Doot Doot, Doot Doot Doot Doot

Or
Animorphs Triumphant!
(Huzzah for Greg)
TV’s Manimal has been put down at the age of 58 following a bout with cancer. After stage work and some UK TV productions, such as I Claudius and Jesus of Nazareth, the English actor brought an air of sophistication to his Manimal role of Professor Jonathan Chase, who helped the police solve crime with his ability to transform into animals, including a python, falcon and shark, suggesting that Aaron Sorkin was not the first NBC writer to delve into the psilocybin mushrooms. Canceled after just 8 episodes, the Gary A. Larson series left the air the same week his other 1983 acid trip, Automan, about a hologram that takes corporeal form to help Desi Arnaz, Jr. solve crimes, debuted. MacCorkindale also appeared as Phillip FitzRoyce, the foppish shark hunter in Jaws 3D that ends up getting eaten by a comically ridiculously animated shark, two seasons of Falcon Crest as Angela’s law-talking guy, a clinical lead consultant (known over here as a doctor) in Casualty, a BBC medical drama, and faux British cousin Gaylord Duke on the Dukes of Hazzard.
