I clearly remember him circling the ring waving a small American flag in 1968 at the Mexico City Olympics after winning a gold medal - a nice image compared to some others at the same games. He presented a genuine nice-guy image in a tough sport, and he was one of the best. RIP.

Richard Chamberlain, Dr. Kildare fame and the original lead character in Shogun, 90.

That was a cool miniseries. Later when I mentioned it to my boss he loaned me his Shogun dualogy (Shogun is a 2 book set). Wow! All of the mystery was gone. In the book you were told what the Japanese were thinking and why they did certain things. I don't even think the miniseries had subtitles, so it was more vague on the story.

Ah, crap.
Loved him in the Man in the Iron Mask.

don't forget Chamberlain in the 3 (&4) Musketeers in the 70s!

Though the movie was a bit of a wash, how could we forget King Solomon's Mines (1985)?
