Amazing one-of-a-kind actor. A leading man in a character actor's body.

yep ... truly one of the greats ...

thanks for so damned many exceptional and unforgettable movies and roles .. if the best of hollywood could give us half as much we would be spoilt by an embarrassment of riches

and thanks especially for pennies from heaven .. still one of the finest televisual experiences anyone could ask for

RIP

Great actor indeed. And he became famous in middle age, when he had really learned his craft.
It must have been a great run for him.

It's too bad he never played an older gay bear. He would have been awesome. I guess those roles have yet to be written.

Thanks for the memories, Bob.

Thanks Bob. Loved them all, especially Roger Rabbit.
