.... especially as his second, and most regular, incarnation was played by one of the greatest American actors of his generation who we have hd cause to discuss on the forum before!
I sense a True Friending opportunity approaching.....

Titan Masters? As in the small figures who turn into heads across the line and pilot vehicles?
Hawke was the replacement pilot for Airwolf, and so is like the next generation pilot of the vehicle, with the TMs being the "next generation" of Head Masters.
I am grasping at straws here...

Wrong characteristic! Though oddly you've got an element of the intended answer without me hinting at it that well.

I don't remember much; if I have time when I get home I will have to scan the wikipedia article. I remember he was played by one of those guys who was _everywhere_ in 80s US TV. That's about it.

Concentrate more on what he was famous for *before* Barry Van Dyke played him in Airwolf S1-3!

I know fuck all about Airwolf. -Ralph I googled the name and found the answer in 2 of the top 5 results. I'm also mightily amused by his IMDB and Airwolf wiki entry character pages, written by someone who doesn't know how to pronounce the written name!

Getting much closer ....
If I said this week is a sequel to an earlier Top 5, might that help?

Right, so St John Hawke is Stringfellow's lost brother, played by Barry Van Dyke of Galactica 80 fame?
Which apparently makes me half way to the answer.
It's a big half.
If Airwolf is a connection are helicopters involved? But that doesn't have much to do with reincarnation.
In short - not a clue.

Thursday Tease: Who are the reincarnations of StJohn Hawke? StJohn Hawke was Missing In Action The reincarnation of anything suggests a 2nd version, and I hinted that this was a sequel to an earlier top 5. So go looking for an earlier Top 5 that involves something being missing - list in the first post - and you'd get Week 30: US G1 toys that were never sold in the UKSo a sequel to that is Post G1 toys in the UK.

Well, that is certainly very specific! I think I need to build a Graph Database of detailed Transformers toy information before I can come up with some of these lists!
