Everything he acted in turned to gold. I've seen him in Maverick and Rockford Files. Maverick was filmed over half a century ago, and it could stand up today against the best of anything shot today. But he wasn't an actor. He was just himself reading lines. Brett Maverick and Jim Rockford were James Garner in other lives. It is such a shame that such great people have to grow old an die. Whoever made that rule was either cruel or insane.

He was an actor. He didn't have range. He couldn't play outside of himself well. But he didn't just stand there and deliver lines.
He'd probably call himself a 'reactor', because he worked very hard at believable reactions to the events of the story. And it shows.
