Like Hillerman appearances on ELLERY QUEEN playing the radio sleuth Simon Brimmer.

I liked him on that show too. I watched him just a few weeks ago in an episode from the first series of Lynda Carter's Wonder Woman.

RIP Malcolm

That sucks, but then he was quite ill, right? Dementia I think.

 

[THUNDERSTRIKE]

That sucks, but then he was quite ill, right? Dementia I think.

yeah, he was suffering with it for the last couple of years... his nephew Stevie, replaced him in the band... Mal was 64 too... too damn young and just another in the line of rockers that we're losing too young and too fast... think I'm gonna play on some AC/DC today...

 

[squeekness]

Every day is a good day to play some AC/DC.

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

RIP Malcolm. He really was the beating heart as well as the high energy rhythmic guitar bad bad ass that drove the legendary band that was AC/DC Tthrough both the Scott and Johnson eras. Discovering the band as a teen they quickly rose to be one of my favorite Rock outfits that deserve to be mentioned with names like The Who, The Rolling Stones or Led Zeppelin and that was in no small part because of Malcolm's talents.
