Magnum PI's John Hillerman dead at 84

John Hillerman, the actor who made a career out of playing snooty types, including Tom Selleck's fastidious estate caretaker Jonathan Quayle Higgins III on Magnum, P.I., died Thursday. He was 84.
Hillerman, who received four Emmy nominations in consecutive years for portraying Higgins and won in 1987, died at his home in Houston, family spokeswoman Lori De Waal told the Associated Press. She said the cause of death had not been determined.
His Higgins character was a natural extension of a part he played on the TV detective show Ellery Queen: Simon Brimmer, a radio personality and affected gent who fancied himself a savvy sleuth. Ironically, Hillerman, who often played condescending characters with more than a touch of the Tory Brit — the Mayfair accent — was a Texan from a tiny railroad town, the son of a gas station owner.

Hillerman had a great comedic touch and Higgins was the perfect role to show off his multi-faceted talent. RIP

He was Masters.
But, I thought he admitted that he was NOT RM on the series finale? (and, has any TV show had a more disappointing and disjointed finale than the last two shows of Magnum?)

If you've never seen Paper Moon, Hillerman did a great job of playing a set of brothers in that film.

“It’s Higgins, sir.” “Your name is tattoo!”

We may never know if he was indeed RM. RIP.

Damn! My favorite show. I was so hoping for one day to have the cast back together one more time. Goodspeed, Higgins!
