Oh my. Another fabulous B player that I admired so much. The great ones just a smidge below the A ones but that were so important to either the movies or the television shows we watched.

91. Good for you sir. And thanks for all the memories.

I always loved my B players. Ok who remembers Kojak baby? Oh lord I loved those souls.

It's the sometimers like George Kennedy that make the movie. That make the Paul Newman greater by their supporting roles. I personally think they should expand the awards for supporting players.

I really do.

I added this pic because of the recent passing of Geoffrey Lewis also. I always enjoyed Juliette's Dad's work too.
