Very sad to hear about Robert Prosky. I mostly remember him from his stint on Hill Street Blues in the 80s "Let's do it to them before they do it to us."
I also remember him as "Bear" in The Lords of Discipline an underrated 80s flick that I think only I liked.
My prayers for his family. He'll be missed. -

R.I.P. to one of our finest character actors.
This has been a horrific week of losses for show business. Nina Foch, Beverly Garland and Forrest J. Ackerman have all passed away within the last 7 days.
My heart is breaking. -

Agreed with all the sentiments so far. Along with Philip Bosco, one of the great modern 'oh THAT guy' character actors. Always could be relied upon to bring a warmth and grandfatherly humanity to every role he took on. You will be missed Robert!!
RIP

Man, what a sad news. Robert was UNFORGETTABLE in Michael Mann's THIEF ; his portrayal of Leo was one of the most scariest performance ever. It's a terrible loss for american cinema.
May he rest in peace. -

YES Glumpy, LOL I seem to always "glump" them together.
Anyway, I see Robert was in a gazillion things.however, he is in two of my fave movies of all time Mrs. Doubtfire and Rudy. Just caught him a few weeks ago in the old movie Outrageous Fortune, he looked so young and it was only 6 years before Rudy and M.D.
RIP Robert you have given me many smiles from your perfomances in Rudy and Mrs. Doubtfire, I've watched them a lot!
Also, very cool that you had a house in Cape May, one of my fave places in my state

I loved him in "The Love She Sought," as he played a "progressive" priest with Angela Lansbury playing a Catholic school teacher "who took her religion 'straight up.'" I watch that movie over and over (made abt 1995). As a sidenote, it's the very first time I ever saw Cynthia Nixon (of "Sex and the City" fame) in a movie; she was a very young unwed pregnant girl who had come to spend the last term of her pregnancy with her teacher.
Robert had a joyful enthusiasm in "The Love She Sought" that I can't help but think was part of his "real life." The loving comments by his family are very heart-wearming; I am always happy to hear that an older person who died was still living with his wife
