Ken Howard, the current national president of SAG-AFTRA who came to fame as the supportive inner-city high school basketball coach on the 1970s CBS drama The White Shadow, died Wednesday. He was 71.

Howard, who got laughs as Hank Hooper, the CEO of Kabletown, the cable company that buys NBC from General Electric, on the sitcom 30 Rock, died at his home near Los Angeles, the guild said. No cause of death was announced.

White Shadow was a good show. I also loved him on Crossing Jordan. R.I.P. Ken.

I feel like any kid who grew up in the late 70s, early 80s and who liked Basketball probably watched Howard in The White Shadow. I am sorry to read of Howards passing.

RIP Kenneth Joseph "Ken" Howard, JrMarch 28, 1944 – March 23, 2016

Remember Crossing Jordan and scarcely remember White Shadow. Underrated but great actor!

I have the White Shadow theme as my ringtone on my cell phone. RIP to a good character actor - he was great on 30 Rock as well.
