"While working on a project on the Disney lot, EIGHT SIMPLE RULES filmed on the stage next door. James Garner used to sit outside the stage on a chair reading and yelling at passersby whose actions rankled him — be it parking like an idiot or spitting on the ground. You don't mess with Jim Rockford.

I'm going to miss that old coot."
