Fess Parker passes away at 85

I'm so sad to hear that. Loved Davy Crockett and owned a coonskin cap as a kid. :(

Let's not forget his almost Oscar winning performance in this famous movie....one of my favorite scifi's as a kid

He wasn't in 'Them'. That was James Whitmore as the state trooper and James Arness (Marshall Matt Dillon) as the FBI agent got who destroyed the ants in the end with flame throwers and bazookas. Great movie.

Sorry. You're mistaken...Fess Parker's character, a pilot named "Crotty", got his ass locked up in an insane asylum when he claimed to see a flying ant.

Another patient kept saying "Make me a sergeant and give me the booze!!!!!!!!!!!!"
