Sorry to hear this.  Such a good actor.  Enjoyed his talk show years ago, too.

When I read the post header the first thing I thought of was his smile. I can't remember him not smiling (unless it was in a role of course.) RIP

Oh, I really liked him too. I agree that he was underrated. Yes...Rosemary's Baby. I was so hoping he was going to help Rosemary!! One of my favorite movies!! He will be missed.

@Johnnyeager. How about crediting the source if your likely copyrighted material that you copied?

 

@CANDLEQUEEN  Loved him in Heaven Can Wait. I remember his talk show -- does anyone else?

 

He was an offbeat character. I think he listened to his own drummer.


The talk show was on one of the cable channels - CNBC ???

One of my favorites.  Loved him in Midnight Run.

I don't know how old I thought he was or should be but I didn't think it was 86!

I just loved him, in Dave and lots of other movies and TV.  I always thought he and Bob Newhart would be a perfect pair in a situation comedy. If they were I don't remember it.

Both my husband and I loved him.  The Heartbreak Kid is a classic. Truthfully I was surprised he was 86.


That's the movie I think of when I think of him.  It was so funny, so much better (I thought) than the remake.

 

I think he always looked a lot younger than he was.  I remember being shocked when at some point, I read he was "fifty-something".  I couldn't believe it, because I thought he still looked like he was in his thirties.

Great actor, very under rated! I remember him in Rosemary's Baby, and he was hilarious in Seems like old times with Goldie and Chevy....


@CANDLEQUEEN - I never saw Rosemary's Baby, but Seems Like Old Times is one movie I can watch again and again. 

I can also watch Dave over and over - it's one of my favorites. I just saw it again two nights ago.

 

Like @blueroses47  I had no idea he was in his 80's.

 

I've seen a lot of his other movies too. He was a funny guy with that "dry" sense of humor.

 

 I am really sad about this.

"Midnight Run" is one of my most favorite movies.  He was the best!  Sorry to hear this.
