Wow, certainly not one I ever would have imagined was still with us. I know we say that a lot in threads like this, but if you'd asked when he'd passed, I'd probably said 30 years ago. God bless sir.

Very good actor, may you rest in peace, sir, and God bless.

And good in The Sons of Katie Elder.

I thought he had died years ago. I liked him in Westerns and in "Police Woman." He had a good long run.

I think he was one of the few actors who could pull off being a good guy or bad guy equally well.

First role that I recall was that of the cook in "Forbidden Planet" that talked the robot into making lots of whiskey. A very long career.
