My favorite film of his is the ST. VALENTINE'S DAY MASSACRE, especially the scene where he gets into a lengthy fight with his girlfriend.

I really enjoyed George Segal's performance in this obscure, but interesting, little film.

Remember him being the lead in a period comedy-caper named The Southern Star (1969). Kind of a oddball pastiche of cliffhanger adventures and safari flicks, he played the soldier-of-fortune part opposite female lead Ursula Andress. Oh and Orson Welles played the villain.

He had a rather good career in the 60's and 70's, better than a lot of actors get. His movies were constantly playing on TV, but the only one I remember seeing on the big screen was "Fun with Dick and Jane." I saw a bunch of them on the small screen though, including "Rollercoaster" which stands out in my memory for some reason.

A reliable actor, not a favorite by any means, but fell right into alot of his roles seemingly well.

One of my Swedish TV chanels shows re-runs of Just Shoot Me over and over, but he is very funny as the publisher.
Invitation to a Gunfighter 1964, some say it was a too psychological western, but I thought it was a good movie. King Rat 1965, is a great prison camp movie, maybe a bit overlooked nowdays since it's in black-and-white. Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? 1966, great as he is caugth between the razor tongues between Liz and Dick. No Way to Treat a Lady 1968, enjoyable who-done-it. The Bridge at Remagen 1969, not bad WW2 action movie.
Rollercoaster 1977, he was like a sixties guy cought in a late disaster movie, and enjoyable, using a bit unconventtional methods.
Six movies I've liked through the years.

A welcome presence in any movie or TV show. Still making us laugh on The Goldbergs each week.

The Quiller Memorandum was a pretty good film. I didn't completely buy into him being a secret agent though.

Just a few of my favourites - California Split King Rat Lost Command No Way to Treat a Lady A Touch of Class Enjoyed the chemistry he had with Elliott Gould in this... California Split (1974)If you happen to watch this particular scene, try to imagine the difficulty of having to actually shoot it, and cut it all together in a semi-coherent way, if you had been the director in charge of it........ Robert Altman (and his editor) do a GREAT job of making all these different angles and edits fit together perfectly, resulting in a scene that effortlessly just seems to "flow".......something that, in the hands of a lesser director, probably would have been just a BIT more messy......just one of those subtle things that we as movie watchers rarely tend to notice when done right, but almost ALWAYS notice when done poorly!
