He was an artist and a very sucessful one as well and it wasn't because he was a tv star. Although his role as the hard hitting cop would suggest he was anything but sensitive, Jack Lord was really a very different man in real life. I am going to tell you something about Jack Lord that is not generally well known, I learned this from one of Paul Harvey's "The Rest Of The Stories". This show ran longer then any other police show in tv history, from 1968 to 1980, we all watched Steve McGarret unmask the villian and solve the mystery (oh and also to bark "Book 'em Danno" at the end of every episode. However, Hawaii Five O was the grandaddy of them all. You had shows like, Police Story, Cannon, Columbo, Toma, Baretta, The Streets Of San Francisco and Joe Forrester. Th e1970's was often called the age of tv cop shows.
