The Salmi-Fickett chemistry is top notch in that episode (
Power Play
), making it difficult to believe that the actors portraying these Middle Western types were born and bred New Yorkers! Fickett actually surprised me more, as I wasn't as familiar with her work. Fine episode all-round, and the Salmi-Fickett playing (for my money) stole it, and from some gifted fellow actors. -

I've never heard of Mr. Salmi unfortunately until last week. I was watching the Twilight Zone episode "Of Late I think of Cliffordville". Albert Salmi really stood out to me and I enjoyed his performance immensely.

My favorite Albert Salmi role,was his portrayal as Charlie Rawlins,in the "Unforgiven". His role was different from his usual tough guy character. He was a sweet,lovable h dope in love with Audrey Hepburn.

It breaks one's heart to know of his career, his wife's tragedy and his suicide. He should have been recognized as a performer of impossible dimension, but was regulated to tv character actor.
Best:
Twilight Zone: A Quality of Mercy, playing a war-weary Sergent at WW2's end trying to put reason in the mind of a kill-crazy Lieutenant who wants to attack a band of similarly exhausted Japaneseyou could tell he was but an inch away from telling him to go to hell. -

I loved him in Dallas I'm young, though, and don't remember too much of his early work and only HAPPENED to watch Dallas on SoapNet. I was about 30 then. Lol! Anyway, that scene between him and Sue Ellen when he was trying to get her in the sack with him before JR got there (that was JR's plan all along), I still crack up about it.
Recently, I've been7ec watching the Twilight Zone and I KNEW-I KNEW I recognized him. Great actor. Sorry to know of his death and the circumstances around it. I know people talk bad about suicide and such, but sometimes, this life just pushes you to the edge of the cliff and you jump. I hate he took his wife out with him, but I don't know the full story and I don't need to. I still have "Remember Cliffordville" on my DVR. One of the Twilight Zone's greatest hits. RIP to Rod Serling for the gift of this TV show.
God bless.
