Wow.. that's too bad. He was an under-appreciated talent...

This weekend, rent JOE (where he is brilliant in the title role); TAXI DRIVER (in a significant role); TV movie as Joe McCarthy in TAIL GUNNER JOE and OUTLAND (the Sci-Fi 'High Noon' as the bad mining company boss trying to Connerry killed)...

That X-Files episode mentioned above is one of the most famous of the series... "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose" (or The Finale Repose of Clyde Bruckman)... It's terrific.

He will be missed, a very good
actor. He was a riot in his role
as Raymond's dad, was also in
Young Frankenstein and Johnny
Dangerously to name a few.
Rest in Peace and be happy and
safe with our Lord.

Eleven Emmy nominations and one win is "under-appreciated?" I'd kill to be under-appreciated like that.

He won for the X-Files episode, by the way.

I was in a French class with his wife during the Raymond days-- heck of a schedule-- she told me he would spend three weeks in LA and then fly back for one week with her and their daughter (they didn't want to take their daughter out of her school so she and her mom stayed in New York). Nice lady. She was a reporter for "Rolling Stone" when they met, I believe.

Just a little piece of trivia ... his best man when he got married in 1977 was none other than John Lennon.
