Linc as a Tall Texas Drug Dealer
by kgraovac2023-12-01
7/10

"A military captain and former cop (Steven Ihnat) returns from Vietnam to find out who killed his younger brother. A decent but not outstanding episode, None of the guest stars really stand out in this one. Ihnat plays a complicated character and kind of looks like Stacy Keach. Too bad he would die less than 2 years after this episode was filmed. The best part is Linc's undercover role as a Texas drug dealer simply named "Big D". Clarence Williams really lays on the Southern accent and he speaks in a higher register too. They should have given him more opportunities to play-act..."
