mimartin Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 Actor Peter Falk dead at 83. He may have been best known as Columbo, but he will always be either the grandfather from The Princess Bride or Rocky Holzcek from Roommates to me.
newbiemodder Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 I'll forever remember his role as private investigator Sam Diamond in the comedy Murder By Death...a classic.
The Doctor Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 A terrible, terrible loss. Rest in peace, Mr. Falk.
acdcfanbill Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 Aww, this makes me sad. I was never a huge Columbo fan, but I rather liked Peter Falks work. My favorite role of his was as Max, assistant to Jack Lemmons Professor Fate in Black Edwards The Great Race. A great old slapstick comedy. "Push the button MAX!"
Taak Farst Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 Amazing actor, utterly amazin. EDIT: "During a 2009 court trial over Falk's care, Dr Stephen Read stated that the actor's condition had deteriorated to the point where he could no longer remember the character of Columbo." that's on the Columbo wiki page. That's really upsetting. Imagine getting to such a bad state you can't remember the very thing that was a big part of your life for near on 40 years?
Bob Lion54 Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 Awww, that sucks. Peter Falk was great. I might have to pick up the Princess Bride on Blu-Ray now. Columbo is such a classic character, too. One of the best cop shows of its time. R.I.P Mr. Falk
ChAiNz.2da Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 RIP Mr. Falk... Agreed mimartin, While he was best known for Columbo.. I'll always consider him "grandfather" of The Princess Bride. I always wished they had him (Falk) narrate the audio book instead of Rob Reiner... would've bought it in an instant.
Liverandbacon Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 damn, I had to ask him just one more thing. RIP.
Astor Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 I knew he'd been suffering for a while, but this is still sad. He's obviously Columbo, but I'll still remember him as he was in the first film I saw him in. (This BBCode requires its accompanying plugin to work properly.)
