The news isn't *Solid* today. Rest in Peace Clarence Williams III (August 21, 1939 - June 4, 2021) primarily known as Linc Hayes from the TV series The Mod Squad. He also appeared prominently in films such as Purple Rain, 52 Pick-Up, Tales from the Hood, Half Baked and Reindeer Games, and had a recurring role on Season 2 of Twin Peaks. Rest Well Sir... nypost.com/2021/06/07/clarence-williams-iii-mod-squad-actor-dead-at-81/

Sad news. I grew up with the Mod Squad and he was my favorite of the cast, Linc was just soooooo cool.

I remember watching Mod Squad as a kid but have no memories of the show at all. Mr. Williams was also in an episode of Star Trek.
RIP Clarence

I have a lot of memories of that show. I wish I could find a clip of him saying "I don't fink on soul brothers", because it was a line Frank used during Hellcats.
And of course, his catchphrase... "solid"
The episode that always stood out was when Lincoln had to go undercover at a mental institution. Clarence really went all out in that episode - (Meg Foster was in it too, you couldn't forget those eyes)
I was checking to see if MeTV was showing any episodes, but the signal is gone for some reason, just static.
