RIP Buck. An iconic character for many of us who were tweens and teens in the early 80s...loved that show as a kid and cant believe it was only on 2 years. MeTv had the reruns on for a couple years but havent seen it lately. Loved the outrageous villans they had on every week.

Didnt realize he had a weight issue getting up to 350 at one point in 2005 but lost much of that after the surgery

RIP Buck, you were the man. Great movie and show, came out when I was the right age for this type of stuff. So, Gil Gerad (Buck) along with Apollo (Battlestar Galactica) were must watch TV. Thank you God, for Wilma Deering in spandex.

"Gerard spent the next several years appearing in commercials — more than 400 by his count"

WOW
