I remember him most as General Bradley in "Patton" and for those American Express commercials all through the 70s-80s. I think I liked him because he looked just like my grandfather.
Baba-Booey to you all!

Great performance in that creepy classic. I was planning to view that film again this weekend even before I heard the news.

“ Once this was all Black Plasma and Imagination. ” -Michael McClure
Starred Steve McQueen and Karl Malden, who very convincingly played a sadistic SOB. He was memorable in all his roles, whether playing a priest, a cop, a dirt farmer, or a miscreant. He was, without a doubt, one of the premier character actors of his time.
"Nevada Smith" is quite a good film. You should see it when you have a chance.
A wonderful actor.

Got to admire anyone with a schnoz like that who could become a movie star. Talk about confidence. Didn't it seem that it got larger through the years?
At any rate, may he rest in peace.

We just saw him a few days ago opposite Bette Davis in Dead Ringer. He had quite a range, and did a great job in whatever the role. In addition to One Eyed Jacks, I liked him a lot in Streetcar. In Streetcar he plays such a sweet guy, who changes a lot when deceived by Blanch.

of his was again with Brando in One-Eyed Jacks. He could be devilishly mean.
Playing Jim Pearsall's father...fantastic as an over the top pushy Dad.
The opening scene where he walks in the kitchen , and just stares at his wife....
Mill worker in Waterbury Connecticut, and if you were ever in Waterbury back in the day, you would know his performance as a worker was spot on.
....a gem, for the characters.As I reflect, I think his almost-ecstatic level of energy was what I notice most. It was modulated by the role but he was always PRESENT in his characters. A memorable, unselfish artist.
