Actor Denny Miller, whose diverse film and television roles ranged from the first blond Tarzan on the big screen to scout Duke Shannon in the classic TV Western Wagon Train, has died. He was 80.
Miller, who wore a yellow rain slicker as the Gorton’s Fisherman in TV commercials for the seafood company for more than a decade, was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease (ALS) in January and died Tuesday in Las Vegas.
The 6-foot-4 Miller, who played basketball at UCLA for legendary coach John Wooden in the 1950s, also is known for his role as Western movie actor "Wyoming" Bill Kelso in the 1968 Peter Sellers comedy The Party.
