And he still makes time for his friends, which include his Rockford Files star, James Garner, who suffered a stroke in May 2008. Garner is doing better Cannell tells HollywoodOutbreak.com – aside from a major challenge with arthritis.


Cannell is hoping we haven’t see the last of Garner on the screen, but he is in enormous pain. So much discomfort that a few months back Garner cancelled a stage performance of A Christmas Carol.

I wish him a full recovery.

God be with him - I too hope and pray for a full recovery.

Best wishes to Mr. Garner for a full recovery. I'd love to see him do a cameo in the "Rockford" remake or better yet in a recurring role. Perhaps he could play Rocky Rockford.(Jim Rockford's Dad)
