RIP
A funny scene in one of the Naked Gun movies, Leslie Nielsen was patting down a a suspect, and he pulls out George Kennedy's wallet from George Kennedy's jacked who is standing behind the suspect--he says--hey, this guy has a picture of your wife in his wallet. Kennedy punches the suspect out--Leslie Nielsen calls out--anybody else seeing his wife?


Never Bet on the White Guy! Sex Frank?


OJ lives.

Served in the Army for 12 years. WWII combat veteran. Got back into acting while working as a technical advisor on Sgt Bilko.

Appeared in Spartacus, Charade, Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte, The Dirty Dozen, and Cool Hand Luke (won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar) among his 70+ movies.
 
Wow great actor. He will be missed. With all the deaths so far this tear, 2016 is not shaping up as a good year to be living.
 
RIP George Kennedy

Related but off topic - did anyone else notice that Abe Vigoda was not included in the "In Memoriam" segment of the Oscar telecast?
 
Strangely,he was in an episode of Perry Mason on Me Tv last night.Since they show these episodes in chronological order,it was not a special tribute.
