The role of the good-natured helicopter pilot “TC.” made him one of the most famous TV faces of the 1980s: According to media reports, US actor Roger E. Mosley has now died in an accident. He died Sunday at a Los Angeles hospital from injuries sustained in a car accident on Thursday, according to the Los Angeles Times and The Hollywood Reporter, referring to the actor’s daughter. Mosley was therefore 83 years old.
The broadcaster CNN refers to a Facebook message from the daughter, according to which Mosley died peacefully with his family. “We could never mourn the loss of such a great man,” the Facebook post said. “We would find every tear shed in his name TERRIBLE. It’s time to celebrate the legacy he left for all of us. I love you daddy.”
Mosley was born in Los Angeles in 1938. He has acted in numerous films and series, best known for his role as Theodore “T.C.” Calvin on the television series Magnum. The US series starring Tom Selleck was produced from 1980 to 1988. John Hillerman, who played the cranky estate manager Jonathan Higgins in “Magnum”, died in 2017.
