Not known so much for sci-fi (although he did appear in Logan's Run and a couple of seaQuest episodes), he was a talented actor who will be missed.

I loved him as "Box" in Logan's Run. He also narrated perhaps the most played album of my youth. "The Story Of Star Wars". Before we had vhs and DVD, this was the only way to relive the Star Wars experience. And I still have it!!I will miss this guy.

He was terrific as the cook in The Cowboys. And those of us with kids know what a great job he did as the narrator in Babe.

Ah, I saw "The Cowboys" as a kid and have two completely different memories of it:

The first was the absolute sick shock when a major character dies early on in the film. If you know who I'm talking about, that was a seriously-against-screen-image kind of moment.

And then about an hour later my bad mood was completely reversed by Roscoe's great noose around the neck speech:

"Lord forgive my laziness, my stubborness, taking your name in vain, my Saturday drunkness and my Sunday sloth. Lord forgive me for the men I've killed.....

...and the men I'm about to kill"

And then all hell breaks loose. Awesome dialog delivered by an awesome actor.

Godspeed Roscoe.

Great movie, too bad the DVD is a grainy nightmare, I hope it gets remastered one day. My grandfather took me to see it in the theater, I was such a fan I even remember watching every episode of the TV spin-off.

I remember seeing Bruce Dern on Tom snyder in the seventies, he said he was the first character with lines who ever killed John Wayne in a movie, and he got hate mail for years afterward. In all of Dukes movies till The Cowboys, he had always been killed by a nameless Japanese sniper or a unbilled Indian or Mexican extra.

Dern seriously creeped me out when I watched it as a kid.

I liked this guy. The last I saw of him he played Claudette's Dad on 'The Shield'
