He gave wonderful performances in both the Verdict and 12 Angry Men. Those are the two best courtroom dramas I've seen and Jack Warden was wonderful in both.
Jack Warden comes off as a very likeable person, probably because of a good sense of humor but he was very good in dramatic roles too.

I was going to nominate The Verdict as well. He just added, or brought more to the Newman character with his presence and role.
Others I've seen:
From Here to Eternity
12 Angry Men
Brian's Song
Shampoo
All the President's Men
Being There
And Justice for All
Guilty as Sin
While You Were Sleeping

He was first rate as the lead role in the mid 1970's "Police Story" episode titled as "The Watch Commander". Great job, Jack.
He was also great in "Used Cars", an underrated movie, imho.

I thought he was great in ESCAPE FROM ZAHRAIN, which has recently been released on DVD.
Worth checking out.

I saw him late last night in 'Raid on Entebbe', a well-made TV movie about Israelis taken hostage by Palestinians in 1976. I started reminiscing about Warden after that. A few great roles and a thousand really good ones for him; I'm a huge fan. He made every movie that he was in better. He was an imposing masculine force on the screen, and he will be missed. RIP.

SHAMPOO was on TCM last night; I forgot how good he was. But I think my favorite Jack Warden role will always be THE VERDICT. He just seemed so believable in that role, it wasn't like acting. Very surprised he wasn't nominated.

How can we forget Jack Warden's role with Paul Newman in the 1982 move: "The Verdict". As the assistant to his down and and out law partner, he performance was authentic and believable. He was the best!

While you were sleeping with Sandra Bullock and Bill Pullman. I also loved, loved, loved, 12 angry men. I'm 57 and saw it for the first time just a few months ago. Great movie.
