I was named after the previous famous TV character he played (although with two T's instead of one) cause my late dad was such a fan of the character, which was on at the time.

James is the middle name of all the dudes in my family and my dad went by it instead of his born name ... he also actually looked fairly similar to James Garner as well.

I have a Raider game ticket stub from 1978 that Garner signed for me after the game ... my dad kinda knew him cause both were real tight with the Raiders org in the 1970's. Jimmy used to be on the sidelines at every home back then.
