Longtime film and television actor James Sikking died from complications of dementia on July 13, 2024, at his Los Angeles home. He was 90 years old. The role in which I remember him was as Lt. Howard Hunter on "Hill Street Blues." link He was an Army veteran. "Sikking's character was the bombastic, excessively aggressive Lt. Howard Hunter, commander of the Emergency Action Team (a kind of SWAT force). The actor had been given the blessing to play the character any way he chose, so he based the character on a drill sergeant he'd trained under at Fort Bragg (now Fort Liberty)." Jim |

Sikking created a great character in a great ensemble cast. He always did good work. 90 is a good run. |

He was also really good as Doogie Howser's dad. |
