He can't be 87 ! I knew him when he was just a kid ! and even before that when he popped up on the TV in the early 60's I wish I could thank him in person for all the good times through the years. Never has disappointed !

In addition to his many outstanding performances in well known films, I also liked his performance in Tomorrow (1972). It probably inspired a much later movie - or at least the mannerisms of its main character. I also liked his performance in Convicts in which he plays an aging and demented prison farm boss. The film is slow and not for everyone.
