I just heard that Robert Ulrich has passed away. Probably by the cancer that he had. This is sad news. He was so young.

Sad news. I've always liked Robert Urich's acting and his pleasant manner.
Cancer--it's a monster. Claimed my mother's life last month, and my father's battling it now.
Will they ever find a cure? :(

I was SO shocked when I heard that this morning! I thought he had beaten it.

How sad. I always liked him. I thought for sure he had beaten his cancer. :(

*sniffle*

I really liked Robert Urich. I hadn't heard that he was doing poorly in his battle against cancer. He fought it with such grace.

I passed him once on the street many years ago. The man was gorgeous; pictures and film did not do him justice.

He seemed to be a very nice and sincere person who had his priorities straight; a loving husband and father.

:(

I didn't know he was sick. I must've been under a rock or something. I just saw him on a movie last night!! 55 IS pretty young to die:(

It is a tragedy he had to die so young. I hope with all my heart that somebody discovers a cure for cancer. I don't expect the cure to come today, or tomorrow, but hopefully someday a cure will be found. I thought Robert had beaten it too. I guess the lesson being taught now is to spend today as if it's your last.

This is going to sound....rather ignorant, but who is Robert Ulrich?

He was an actor. He starred in dramas mostly. He was probably best known for his roles in Vega$ and Spenser: For Hire.

Hey Karli, here's his imdb entry. There's a picture of him there too. :)

He seemed to be a genuine, pleasant man. I liked him. As far as his acting career, the way he played his role in "Lonesome Dove" was probably my favorite. He was convincing and likeable in that part, even though his character was a guy with his morals a bit scrambled.

Thank you Dawsongirl and DJM77! :)

That's sad. I thought he had beaten that cancer too. I really liked him. BTW for those of you who don't know, he was married to Heather Menzies who played Louisa in "Sound of Music".
