Mine is Rod Serling.
And after I read the memoir about him by his daughter Anne, that feeling doubled. It's a fantastic book about a genuinely great human. http://anneserling.com/index.html#/
James Garner, a wonderful, physically disabled human being who worked as an actor and played the character "Jim Rockford" in the visionary TV show, "The Rockford Files".
Let's not forget James Garner in Maverick! It too was ahead of its time, a very funny Western TV series with Garner playing a professional gambler. It ran 1957-1960, and still runs in syndication.
I always enjoyed everything James Garner was in. Especially loved the chemistry with Sally Field, Murphy's Romance. Two of my favorites in the same movie, and two of a kind.
Jim Rockford was living in a trailer in a parking lot. When I was a kid I thought that was cool. I have higher ambitions now. Living in (somebody else's) yacht. That's a trailer that floats.

A generation ahead of its time.
Wikipedia has the deets, I'm sure, but yeah. It hurt to be an action hero for James Garner.
It didn't just age well...
It might STILL be ahead of its times.

Joe Strummer, maybe?
Dirk Dirksen?
Jack Kennedy?
