Whether they are behind the camera or in front of it, this is the place to discuss all filmmakers regardless of their role in the filmmaking process.

Just a terrific actor and screen presence. When I heard of his passing the first image that came to mind was his playing the empathic swimming coach in Ordinary People, saying to Conrad, “Are you having any fun out there?”

Rest in Peace.

The definitional working actor.

Straight Time was the first time I really registered his presence. i'd probably seen him a dozen or more times prior, without quite registering him. But once I zoned in on him, I saw he always made his films better. IMDB shows he kept working steadily, right up to the end. A full credit to his profession.
