Then it was three episodes of The Rockford Files and 3 episodes of Magnum PI to bring him to the ’80s. After Quantum Leap, He played a detective on Bellasario’s next show, Tequila and Bonetti, as he continued to follow the TV show Goliath to JAG for 16 episodes over the years. But that would be about it for the actor. 

He’s not finished in Hollywood just yet. Recently, Stratton has been working in the sound department for the highly acclaimed Mare of Easttown and the successful Walking Dead spinoff, Fear the Walking Dead. Today he’s 71 years old and it’s certainly pretty cool that he’s still working on some quality programs.
