John Quade (1938-2009)

Some of you might not recognize the name, but if you watched 80's series like The A-Team, for example, you'd probably remember him playing a henchman to some cheesy bad guy. John Quade, it turns out, also had a respectable movie career, mostly in westerns, which I wasn't aware of until I ran across a blog that had reported on his passing at 71.

Character actors like Quade were pretty regular in episodic television during the 70's & 80's. It was steady work, and you just don't see men like Quade anymore. He will be missed.
