Can't forget his dual roles in Used Cars. Also was in a Twilight Zone episode or two. RIP.

All this and no mention of his role in '12 Angry Men' as the juror whose baseball tickets are burning a hole in his pocket?

Also, to a lesser extent, one of the better roles in 'Dirty Work.'

Oh, so THAT'S him? I liked that guy.

No disrespect intended, but my first reaction was surprise that he was still alive. I had the same thought when Red Buttons died the other day.

RIP to them both.

Along with the other roles mentioned here, I also liked him as the asshole grampa in the "Problem Child" movies.

 

[Smallpotatoes]

Wasn't he the judge in "And Justice for All"?
RIP

 

[pressboxer]

I'll always remember him for one line as Ryan O'Neal's dad in "So Fine."

"I used to **** like that!"

Sirs, Madames,

"Frank, lissen to me. This case is a money-maker." (Profanities abounding)

Just great in The Verdict, one of my top ten of all time. 16 times viewed at the theatre alone.

153 credits ... amazing. An amazing run in the 70s with Shampoo, Heaven Can Wait, Being there, All the President's Men.

Friend --
He was the only thing about that movie that was authentically Boston, except for the location shots. That silent shot of him when the jury foreman asks if they're limited on the amount of the award is just priceless.
"He's the prince of ****ing darkness, that's who he is."
You're right. Terrific film. Was on FXM last night.
