| About Noble Willingham Noble Willingham, who worked steadily as a supporting actor for over 30 years and left his job as a saloon owner on the series Walker, Texas Ranger to run for Congress, passed away on January 17, 2004 at his Palm Springs home of natural causes. He was 72 years old. Willingham played barkeep C.D. Parker on Walker, Texas Ranger from 1993-1999. His character was a former Texas Ranger who provided advice on cases to Ranger Cordell Walker, played by series star Chuck Norris. Willingham was the 2000 Republican nominee for a congressional seat in eastern Texas, but lost to democrat Max Sandlin. His distinctive voice and warmly gruff manner helped him bring authority figures to life. He was among the loocal Texans hired when The Last Picture Show (1971) was filmed on location by director Peter Bogdanovich. His other film credits included Paper Moon (1973); Chinatown (1974); Good Morning Vietnam (1987); City Slickers (1991); Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994) and Up Close and Personal (1996). A native of Mineola, Texas, Willingham pursued his dream of acting after earning a master's degree at Baylor University and working as a teacher. In 2002, he returned to acting after his failed congressional campaign, in his final movie Blind Horizon with star Val Kilmer . |
