Remembering Maverick... as played by James Garner

James Garner - 1928 - 2014

First, he was the funny and cardsharp hero as Bret Maverick (1957 - 1962).
Then he played Jim Rockford in Rockford Files (1974 - 1980), as the quiet and unsung hero who always helped people solve their problems without getting much in reward.

From Wikipedia:
"James Garner (born James Scott Bumgarner; April 7, 1928 – July 19, 2014) was an American actor. He starred in several television series over more than five decades, including such popular roles as Bret Maverick in the 1950s western comedy series Maverick and Jim Rockford in the 1970s detective drama series The Rockford Files.

Garner also starred in more than 50 films, including The Great Escape (1963),The Americanization of Emily (1964), Grand Prix (1966), Blake Edwards' Victor Victoria (1982), Murphy's Romance (1985), for which he received an Academy Award nomination, Space Cowboys (2000), and The Notebook (2004)."

And he was the Polaroid Guy on TV commercials in the '70s and early '80s.
