Dan Haggerty – 1942-2016<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Dan Haggerty, the actor best known for his portrayal of Grizzly Adams in both film and television, has passed away.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mr Haggerty began his feature film career appearing in non-speaking parts, in films such as Muscle Beach Party<\/em> and Girl Happy<\/em>, before making several biker and wildlife films including Easy Rider, Angels Die Hard<\/em>, and Terror Out Of The Sky<\/em>. As part of a family who owned a wildlife sacbtaury, Haggerty had experience with animals, and he was hired as a wrangler for Disney Studios. He worked as a stuntman on the Tarzan<\/em> television series, and took on the titular role of Grizzly Adams\u00a0in 1974’s The Life & Times Of Grizzly Adams<\/em>, a famous Californian mountain man of the 1800’s. The film gave Haggerty the stardom needed to reprise the role in the NBC television series Grizzly Adams<\/em>, which ran between 1977-1978.<\/p>\n

Haggerty continued to appear sporadically in film and television roles – on the big screen, he appeared in Repo Jake<\/em> (1990), Elves<\/em> (1990), Grizzly Mountain<\/em> (1995), and Escape To Grizzly Mountain<\/em> (2000), while on the small screen he guest-starred in The Love Boat<\/em> and Condominium<\/em>, in 1980.<\/p>\n

Mr Haggerty passed away from spinal cancer on January 15th, aged 73.<\/p>\n
