RIP Peter Falk

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!"

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?

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.

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.
