very sad. he did an excellent comic turn in the underrated Robin & The Seven Hoods and had a long, rich association with Cassavetes. but if you're going to mark his passing, I suggest one of the early Columbos that had Jack Cassidy as the guest star. The Spielberg-directed Murder By The Book (1971) or (even better) Now You See Him (1976) where Cassidy & Falk eat scenery like it's made out of milk duds. n

He was one of those guys like Walter Matthau who was always better than what he appeared in, but it took a super long time for him to become a star. http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118039074 I wonder if any of his films had Mexican lobby cards?
