Also Falk's performance in The Great Race with Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon stole the show. Much like his performance as Abe Reles in "Murder, Inc.", one of his first movies. I particularly liked him as the grandfather in "The Princess Bride".

I will never forget the time that he was on the Dean Martin Celebrity Roast for Frank Sinatra. He was hilarious!
I just watched that roast a couple months ago -- Falk was great! I was surprised by his death though... I thought he was already dead.  RIP!

A fine actor, and anything he appeared in was, IMO, worth seeing.
I remember a story he told many years ago during a TV interview:
It was commonly known that when he was quite young (three years old), he lost his right eye due to a malignancy. Afterwards, he wore a glass replacement. As a young man, he was playing in a baseball game and was called "out" by an umpire when he felt he was clearly "safe," having beaten both the ball and the tag by the opposing player. He removed his glass eye and offered it to the umpire, saying "You need this more than I do!"
R.I.P.

"Sure I cook with wine - sometimes I even add it to the food!"
"When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies?"
"It was a grass harp... And we listened."
"Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it? Every, every minute?"
"No. Saints and poets, maybe... they do some."

if you thought he was dead then why didn't you credit those who picked him whatever year you thought he died in? I so thought he was dead I didn't credit those who had him THIS year ('til now)

I really am sorry to hear about Falk's death. I loved Columbo. He played the character beautifully always "seeming" like he didn't have a clue (pardon the pun)  but always coming thru in the end. One more thing (in my best Columbo imitation) I don't know if you guys remember but a while back (year or so maybe) they had a news clip of him in the L.A. area somewhere. He was talking/shouting, not making any sense. Someone came to guide him away from the cameras. It was so sad.  TIS

I wait for each Sunday night to watch the man. Columbo , he is so darn cool, even when I was alot younger I liked him. That one suit, that one coat, his car, dog, one eye gone. But along with humor, he had intelegence. His fustrating way, and getting by with it .
No matter where he was he felt comfortable. One heck of a man, one heck of a actor.
