He is a gifted character actor and has an unmistakable voice and a presence that can go the range from avuncular to intellectual to threatening as he did in one role as the Marine judge in "A Few Good Men." I also thought he was brilliant as a reporter for an African-American newspaper in "The Court Martial of Jackie Robinson."

He must be 100 years old now. I remember seeing him as Black Elmo on All In the Family when I was a kid.

Well put, hilo. Hs performance in Body Heat was exceptional, too. He gave his character a personality that was integral to the intereactions and story line of that auspicious movie. What can I say? I just think he's a terrific character actor with a delightful personality. When his face pops up you know you're in for an interesting followup. He always gets my thumb up. Cheers.

Ever see " Body Heat"? Fantastic performance. He dominates all his scenes with William Hurt. Promise you will not be dissapointed. He definitely deserves more notice.
Very true.

He is a very good actor. I thought so in LHOTP and AFGM. Nice that others notice as well.
