[The Purge]

Jan-Michael Vincent, 1980s TV heartthrob and star of Airwolf, has died.

The actor passed away last month, on February 10, after suffering a cardiac arrest at a North Carolina hospital. He was 74.

No autopsy was performed and the star was later cremated, according to a death certificate obtained by TMZ.

The Denver born star had many screen credits to his name, with his career spanning back to the late 1960s.

His last role was in the 2002 independent drama White Boy.

But it was his role as helicopter pilot Stringfellow Hawke in Airwolf - after an acclaimed performance in the 1983 television miniseries The Winds of War - that made him a star.

Airwolf was so cheezy. I bought the series box set a couple years ago when they were basically giving it away in the clearance bin and still haven't made it all the way through it.

First movie I saw him in was Damnation Alley when I was a kid. But I also remember watching Airwolf with my mom. It had a really good two hour premier movie debut.

If you havent see shadow of the hawk it's from the same time period and feel as damnation alley. It's a good movie. It's on blu ray as part of a double feature. Gargoyles is another and the car is another good one from that era. Oh yeah and the ultimate warrior with yuel Brenner.
