Jeff Conway (Bobby Wheeler on Taxi) dead at age 60

[Linflas]

Evidently he's been in an induced coma after a drug OD for a few weeks now. Sadly he's been headed down this road for a couple decades.

RIP

Yeah, that's where I know him from as well. Was fun to watch him go from a total novice to Garibaldi v2.0.

He seemed to be a hard-living kind of guy; hope he enjoyed his time on this Earth.

i can't tell if he sucked or his portrayal of a sucky character was brilliant. i guess that's a good thing for an actor, right?

I'm surpsrised he made it this long after seeing him on TV a few years ago. Dude was a disaster. Sucks he couldn't really help himself.
