Who is your favorite of Albert's characters? Mine is Jonny Cobb in the Dean Martin film "Something Big".

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.
