- Jim_Rockford_(television_character) abstract "Jim Rockford is a fictional character on the television series The Rockford Files. The character, played by James Garner, is a struggling private investigator operating in the greater Los Angeles area, who is the principal character of the series, who was the only actor to appear in every episode of the series.Unlike many other fictional "private eyes", he is a former convicted person, albeit one who was falsely imprisoned (and later fully pardoned). During the series, it is also revealed that because of Sgt./PFC Rockford's actions in Korea, he was awarded a Silver Star while serving in the Korean War with the 24th Infantry Division. He was promoted to Sgt after conning the North Koreans to exchange a tank for a case of K rations so his encircled unit could escape; however he was soon busted back to PFC when it was discovered he was running a string of pool halls in Seoul. He also forget to return his service pistol and gets a call from the army about it after 23 years. A running gag is whenever Rockford gets involved with cases connected to members of his old Division, Jim is usually in trouble. {The reference to the 24th Division is an in-joke-James Garner actually served in the 5th Infantry Regiment (United States) of the 24th Infantry Division aka "Taro Division" during the Korean conflict}Jim dated many women during the course of The Rockford Files (with most relationships not lasting longer than a single episode), most notably his lawyer, Beth Davenport, whom he was said to have dated seriously before the series began. In the 1980s, he was once married to a woman named "Kit" (last name never given) according to the storyline in the first of the Rockford Files made for television movies, 1994's "The Rockford Files: I Still Love L.A." In one of the first scenes, Jim is seen with his ex-wife Kit, played by Joanna Cassidy. It is unknown when they were married, for how long, or the reason for their divorce. They had no children. He maintains a close relationship with his father Joseph "Rocky" Rockford, and his closest friend is LAPD Sgt. (later Lt.) Dennis Becker (who also serves as his LAPD contact); in addition, he has a large group of colorful friends-one who particularly is the comic relief Angel Martin {Stuart Margolin}; a running gag is that Martin's hare brained con jobs usually result in Jim getting beaten up. He enjoys fishing, and would rather spend time doing that than working. Jim is frequently seen eating Mexican food, usually Tacos and Burritos. He often describes himself as "chicken" though often his actions speak otherwise. He lives in an exterior battered (but very well appointed on the interior) mobile home on the beach in Malibu, California and drove a gold colored Pontiac Firebird Esprit. The year of the Esprit coincides with the year of the series, with the exception of 1979-80, as star James Garner did not like the look and handling of the 1979 model, so the 1978 was reused.The detective story writer Stuart M. Kaminsky has written two books with Jim Rockford as the main character, entitled The Green Bottle and The Devil on My Doorstep.".
