I forgot about that show. He was good in that too.

Also was great as Thomas Jefferson in the musical 1776, both on Broadway and in the film version. He'll be missed for sure.

I actually saw Ken play in college many times. For that level of hoops [essentially D3...though it wasn't called that back then]
he was very talented. 6'5"...could shoot from the perimeter...and used his height pretty well inside. He was overly fond of passing with much French pastry....his olde school coach clearly wasn't buying a lot of it...fun to watch play.

Thought about you as I was typing my comment... "I'm surprised Meyers didn't post in this thread, I'm sure that was around his time" glad you didn't let me down

Wow. Sad to hear this. Loved him in White Shadow AND 1776.

The White Shadow was one of the programs I encouraged my growing sons to watch. I think they learned some good lessons from it.
