Farewell to one of few remaining greats of Old Hollywood. I'm very saddened he has passed on, but what a run this guy has had! He was nothing if not prolific, and his name and work will stay with us until we too leave this mortal coil.

I've met many celebrities over the years. In 2004 I had the pleasure of meeting Kevin McCarthy. I can say that without exception he was the most kind to his fans of any celebrity I have ever met. He was down-to-earth, considerate and had a wonderful sense of humor. I also met his wife who was also a delightful person.

Will always be Uncle Walt, in the Twilight Zone Movie, to me. He's one of those people, you know exactly who he is, but, not everyone knows his name. Awesome actor, and he will be missed.

Kevin McCarthy appeared on some of my favorite tv shows, everything from The Golden Girls to Tales from the Crypt and he was always a joy to watch. He will be missed, but I'm glad to see he had a long and wonderful career.

I was just some kid who ran a stage soundboard twenty-five years ago as he toured the country for 'Give 'em Hell Harry'. I remember Mr. McCarthy as a very genuine and nice guy. I appreciate his body of work and I lift a toast to one class guy.

As for me, for "Invasion", "The Howling", "Kansas City Bomber" (one of my guilty pleasures), and "The Twilight Zone," among many others thanks, Mr McCarthy111c. You'll never be forgotten. RIP, you've earned it.

I adored this man. What a beautiful, long and wonderful life he had. Invasion of the Body Snatchers has always been one of my favorite sci-fi movies, and he also starred in one of my favorite Twilight Zone episodes "Long Live Walter Jameson". I am so saddened to hear of his death, but he was a class act and will be missed.
Remember us, for we too have lived, loved and laughed -

Yes, he was terrific in "Body Snatchers" and the Twilight Zone episode and movie. It was always a delight to see him, and he improved every movie and television show I saw him in. "UHF" and "the Howling" are two that come to mind out of his ouvre of some 200 recorded performances.
I once saw him in the play "Happy Birthday, Wanda June" He was nice enough to have a question and answer session with the matinee audience. We, of course, were anxious to ask him questions about the "Twilight Zone" and "Body Snatchers"
Thank you for brightening our lives, Mr. McCarthy. -
