R.I.P. James Sikking

For me I remember him best as the baddie in one of my favorite film thrillers - the criminally underrated NARROW MARGIN from 1990 with Gene Hackman. He’s one of the 2 assassins aboard the train trying to rub out witness Anne Archer.



Of course he was also in 2 unremarkable Five-O episodes. The middling “The Miracle Man” and the terrible (one of the worst) “Tread the King’s Shadow”.

Thanks for the post! James Sikking 90 years old RIP. Hawaii Five-O 🌊 alumni and 1 of the best actors. Loved the name Sikking. Always reminded me of Viking! He was in Hill Street Blues a very acclaimed and respected show. I can't remember any Hill Street Blues episode. Was only around 7 or 8 when the show commenced. Narrow Margin is a suspenseful movie. Anne Archer another Classic HFO Alumni (Beautiful Screamer). I only have 40 years left if I reach Sikking's age of 90. Fortunate to have A Martinez, Anne Archer, Christopher Walken, Eric Braeden, Richard Little, Victoria Principal, etc still living. That would make an interesting book. Some of the young actors working on Classic HFO talking about their experiences. JC
