tv star collector 08-20-2008, 05:27 PM Very sorry to hear that. He was terrific as Lord Bowler on what I think was
one of the most underrated westerns (in my opinion, one of the most underrated series period): The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.

It just happened yesterday.
Adamantium 08-21-2008, 04:36 PM To me, Julius Carry will always be Angela's father that gave Shawn a hard time on "Boy Meets World."
It's a true shame he's gone now.
Rest in Peace, Mr. Carry.
Skywalker 08-21-2008, 08:33 PM I completely forgot that he was on 2 Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place. :eek: He was only on there during the short first season as Bill the guy who owned the Pizza Place. Loved him on Brisco County and I enjoyed his appearances on BMW. His scenes with Eric were hilarious! :lol:
R.I.P. Julius. :(

Holy crud. Pervis Jackson died? Dammit. And I KNEW Phil Guy! I'm done. I declare a moritorium on death amongst African-American performers for the rest of the year.

To me too! One of Rider's best episode is the second to last, 'Angela's Ashes' when she has to decide between going to Europe for a year with her father or stay with Shawn! Sad but great performance.
