Oh man, I loved this series. It was such a weird, high concept that wound up being just a weird PI show, but the cast was amazing.
Napier did the opening narration, as I recall. "Sheriff Jonathan Grail was mad. We'd hit a bank in his town." Yeah, they started a "detection agency to put beans on the table." I loved the 80's.

I have always enjoyed his many performances. The role that stands out for me is his performance in Silence of the Lambs. The scene where his character is desperately trying to unlock the handcuffs as Lecter slowly approaches with the nightstick will always creep me out.

Sorry, I digged this old thread out  ,
but today would have been his 79th birthday.
For me he WAS the finest best actor ever.
I caught his name immediately, when I first saw him on screen,
that was riding through the intro of " Oregon Trail " ,
and I was thinking, hey what a great fellow is that. 
... and I NEVER forgot his name my whole life.
That was december 1979,
when " Oregon Trail " started here in germany.
I was a boy, age 13, looking out for a new hero.
I never, my whole life, forgot that scene on the bridge, ending up, Luther taking a bath.
Then few moments later, Evan arrives at Luther' s home,
Luther takes him to the grave of that Colonel, pointing on it
" There he is. " , and with NO expression on his face, but you could hear the smile in his voice
" Enjoy your talk. "
That did it to me and Luther became my hero.
Unfortunatly " Oregon Trail " was repeated only once
and than disappeared from the sreen and never came back. 
Luther always stayed in my heart
and I often wondered, if I ever will see him again.
Few weeks ago, I discovered
" Oregon Trail " on DVD with 6 new episodes, they hadn' t aired here in germany.
For the first time, I could listen to Charles own beautiful voice,
really what a great beautiful warm voice.
In germany the shows are doubt with german speakers and I must say,
now that I knew Charles own voice, the german voice quite don' t fit anymore.
Through my whole life, I saw Charles in a lot of his films and series
and it was always great fun watching him.
Supervixens is still great in mind too.
My uncle liked to watch those kind of films and don' t mind,
that I watch with him, I was about 17.
Someday he got Supervixens from the video- shop and I read,
that Charles was in it, wow.
I must say, I was mighty impressed by him,
cause I never seen him THAT bad and brutal before.
Today, one of my favorit.
I often wonder, how such a nice handsome friendly looking fellow,
could play such bad brutal villains.
Yes man, no one has such a great scowling stare like Charles had.
I deeply miss him
and I' m glad, he left us such a lot great work of his.
Happy birthday Charles,
where ever you may be now,
have great fun.
We miss you.
Thanks for all.
One of my favorit scenes from " Oregon Trail ".
With such deep tone in his voice
he growls at Evan, " I told you before, that' s my business, not yours. "
