Donald Pleasence is so versatile; one of my all-time favorite actors.
I thought he was excellent as Colin in The Great Escape, and his role in the Twilight Zone episode "Changing of the Guard" was very touching.
He was terrific as a villian/antagonist. I thought he was great in Fantastic Voyage, and in Part Three of Centennial.
Fantastic actor, very much missed.

I couldn't agree more with you Jessica.
I'd have to add The Great Escape in 3rd place, which made me weep as a child.

Yep, I have seen him in two movies, Escape from New York and the Columbo TV-movie but he really left an impression in Columbo.

Surprised and shocked the hell out of me when I saw him in WAKE IN FRIGHT.
DR. CRIPPEN is nice too.

Ooh, good choice. He scared the crap out of me in "Wake in Fright" too. I also particularly like his performance as the police inspector in the great little 70s Brit horror movie "Death Line" - otherwise known as "Raw Meat" to the Americans out there. Pleasence added a touch of class to everything he did - which is just as well, given some of the terrible trash he appeared in.

"The Great Scape"
He was one of the greatest supporting actors of all time, it is incredible how people miss and remember him.

I found his portrayal of Heinrich Himmler in
The 5b4Eagle Has Landed
to be perhaps the most chilling Himmler portrayal ever. Like a pleasant (no pun intended) little administrator, but absolutely cold-blooded at the core.

Pleasence gives an absolutely fearless performance as a drunken and depraved fallen intellectual in Wake in Fright.
