How sad! Other than Beverly Hills Cop, I remember him in MASH and The A-Team.

 

[Kai "the spy"]

Saw him and Judge Reinhold at Stuttgart ComicCon a few years ago. It's very sad to hear of his passing.

 

[Gary Mitchell]

Awwww. Rest in peace Mr. Ashton.

At least he got to go out reunited with Eddie Murphy and Judge Reinhold in 'Axel F'. He was also good in 'Midnight Run' opposite Robert De Niro and Charles Grodin.

 

[Rowdy Roddy McDowall]

And he was a key player in the fine GONE BABY GONE ensemble.

 

[the G-man]

Who else was surprised that he was "only" 76? I would have sworn he was closing in on fifty back when the first BHC came out.

Yeah, it was nice seeing him in the role again. He got to have his one last adventure.
