Veteran actor Chad Everett, perhaps best known for starring in the 1970s drama Medical Center, died 24 July of lung cancer.   He was 75.

In one of his obits, I read that he had  played "a closeted gay police officer on [the CBS show] "Cold Case."  I found the episode on YouTube here ...

IMDB says it aired Dec 2006.  There is a very BBM scene at 19:35 and other BBM moments later on.

Oh yeah, this is a fantastic episode! We discussed it a lot when it first came out, it was so similar to our favorite movie. I had no idea it was available on YT. Thanks for the link!

Yes!  Everett played the older Jimmy reflecting upon the regrets.  With and without Sean, his on-the-beat partrol partner in "Forever Blue"  S4E10 which aired in December 2006.  

The episode was directed by Jeannot Szwarc, who's other credits include "Somewhere in Time"   It knocked my socks off when I first viewed it.   It was known as the "brokeback" episode for a while in the press and continues to be one my all time FAVORITE Cold Case Episodes!   It still gives me chills to even hear the "108 are you there..." line. 

Watch it if you have not you will be surprised.

Thanks SO MUCH for the Youtube posting!     I had it saved on my DVR in HD until the drive decided to crap out recently and I lost it.

I just watched the show.  It's touching.  Very good use of music, especially the Byrds song at the end.  Makes me look forward to seeing BBM at the Castro Theatre next month (posted on Screenings thread).

I never watched Medical Center, and my only memory of Chad Everett is the time he and Lily Tomlin were on a talk show, maybe Cavett.  Everett referred to his wife as his most prized possession and Tomlin walked off the show.

I never saw that when it came out in 2006, but just watched it - thanks so much for posting the link.  Heartbreaking.  And the scene with the wife was so close to Brokeback.....

Brian Hallisay is the actor who played Jimmy.

Shane Johnson is the actor who played Coop.  There is a lovely interview with him here ...

Thank You for posting that link.  I had forgotten about the interview but have enjoyed Shane Johnson and Brian Hallisay in a few follow-on roles.   His interview was on the money.   I agree with Fritz too, one of my favorite works post BBM that has been made.   V.

Now that there's a Spark Notes summary, I guess there's no
need to continue to discuss the Short Story/Movie  Wink

I didn't know about this COLD CASE episode until today.  I just watched it.  Oh God, what a heartbreaker.
