Again, great sadness. Peter Falk, a superb character actor who was featured in some our favorite movies, has passed away at the age of 84.
He's best known, of course, as Lt. Columbo. But would TV's Frank have ever pushed the button for Dr. Clayton Forrester without Professor Fate's henchman Max pushing it first? Would The Princess Bride be half so poignant without Grandpa reading the story to Fred Savage? Without him, would we only have A Mad, Mad, Mad World?
Thanks for the excellence, sir, and rest well.
