He was on a tv show in the states called Ben Casey!
I liked him in that one show!
I think his wife was in it with him.

Here's an article I was sent about the death of David Jones.
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Davy Jones, the lead singer of the 1960s group
The Monkees,
died of a massive heart attack Wednesday in Florida, his spokeswoman
said.
He was
66.
His publicist, Helen Kensick, confirmed that he died in Indiantown,
where he lived.
Jones rose to fame in 1965 when he joined The Monkees, a British
popular rock group formed for a U.S. television show. Jones sang lead
vocals on songs like "I Wanna Be Free" and "Daydream Believer."
Jones was born Dec. 30, 1945, in Manchester, England. His long hair
and British accent helped Jones achieve heartthrob status in the
United States.
According to The Monkees website, Monkees.com, he left the band in
late 1970. In the summer of 1971, he recorded a solo hit "Rainy Jane"
and made a series of appearances on American variety and television
shows, including "Love American Style"
and "The
Brady Bunch."
Jones played himself in a widely popular Brady Bunch episode, which
aired in late 1971. In the episode, Marcia Brady, president of her
school's Davy Jones fan club, promised she could get him to sing at a
school dance.
By the mid-1980s, Jones teamed up with former Monkee Peter Tork, Micky
Dolenz and promoter David Fishof for a reunion tour. Their popularity
prompted MTV to re-air The Monkees series, introducing the group to a
new audience.
In 1987, Jones, Tork and Micky Dolenz recorded a new album, "Pool It."
Two years later, the group received a star on the Hollywood Walk of
Fame.
In the late 1990s, the group filmed a special called "Hey, Hey, It's
the Monkees."
He is survived by his wife, Jessica.
