I remember him from the late 70’s as a hunk. Sad he died a month ago and we’re just being told now. A photo of him shows he aged horribly. Drugs took their toll on him. RIP

'Airwolf' star Jan-Michael Vincent dead: report

Jan-Michael Vincent, the '80s star best known for his role on TV's hit series "Airwolf," has died.

According to a death certificate from a North Carolina hospital published by TMZ Friday, the actor passed away on Feb. 10 after suffering a cardiac arrest. The document shows Vincent was 73 at the time of his death and that no autopsy was performed.

The cause of death was listed as cardiac arrest.

The former heartthrob's final role was in 2002's "White Boy."

Before Vincent's rise to stardom, he appeared in 1978's "Hooper" alongside Burt Reynolds, followed by "Hard Country" opposite Kim Basinger in 1981. He steadily worked in Hollywood for three decades and appeared in numerous hit TV shows, including "Lassie," "Bonanza" and "Gunsmoke," among others.

"Airwolf," which aired from 1984 until 1986, told the tale of renegade pilot Stringfellow Hawke, who goes on missions with an advanced battle helicopter as part of a deal with an intelligence agency to look for his missing brother.

The CBS series made Vincent a massive star and at the time was reportedly the highest-paid actor, earning a whopping $200G per episode. Still, TMZ noted "Airwolf" lasted only a couple of seasons largely in part to Vincent's cocaine abuse.

In 2012, Vincent cheated death after suffering from an infection that required his right leg to be amputated.
He is survived by his wife, Patricia, and his daughter, Amber

Airwolf was my favorite show

That’s the photo I saw. I couldn’t say it was him for a million dollars. He was cute, handsome and charming. Not a huge star but I don’t think many will recognize the name. Tiger Beat featured him in the late 70’s and I remember the nudes. I thought he was too skinny in those pics.

With these deaths, I’m sad to think how they were stars with money and fame but then it was gone. By looking at him, I’d say he died with pills or drink nearby, Medicaid paying bills and no friends. Haunted looks, one leg removed, unknown actor and probably not much money left.

A website needs to list all actors from the 60’s-80’s and see where they are now.

Never watched Airwolf. I mostly remember him as the apprentice to Charles Bronson in the original version of "The Mechanic"

I remember watching it on TV with my dad when I was a kid, but I had to go to bed and missed the ending and my dad telling me about it the next morning.

My son has liked that TV show when he was 4 year old, along with Teenage Turtles, Mortal Kombat and Bonkers cartoons

I remember him as a kid in the Disney movie World's Greatest Athlete.

Years later I remember him in Hooper.

He sure deteriorated in his later years.
