Personally I fancied the pants off both of them.
He died way to young. so sad

At one stage he was tipped to be James Bond. Apparently he did try out for it but was seen as too aggressive. The job went to Roger Moore. After the Professionals he was probably a victim of being typecast, most of his roles being hard man b-movie type. Too young to pass on at 67.

Just downloaded a series of The Professionals, also
starring Hudson (Gordon Jackson).
