One of my favorite actors, always delivering his lines with either sarcasm or his dry/rye monotone voice and wit. Men In Black brought him to the younger masses more recently.

I don't know much about his personal life but if any of you'd like to fill us in on what you do know, please feel free.......

Incredible character in The Gary Shandling Show. Amazing in everything I ever saw him in.


Celluloid heroes never die. I'll watch Beastmaster tonight in his honor.

Oh man, this was (sad) news to me :( Guy had the no-nonsense no-BS serious grumpy older guy look and feel to a lot of his late career characters, and he nailed it every time.

But I'm sure he wasn't like that in real life. I mean he said yes to 'Freddy Got Fingered'.
If you've seen FGF, you know he didn't do it 'cause he wanted an Oscar.. I don't think he did it just to get paid either, betcha there woulda been better options for him to get paid more with less work. Either he owed Tom Green a favor, or he did it for shits and giggles and to troll serious movie critics and stuff like that.
