A giant in Hollywood for generations. What is missing from so many of his obit articles is that he was not just a TV actor, but appeared in many great films, beginning with playing opposite Marlon Brando in Sayonara in the 50s. He played with Julie Andrews in The Americanization of Emily. He, sadly, garnered only on Oscar nomination and should have been given a lifetime achievement one years before his stroke in 2008. So sad.

I hold myself accountable for projecting that he had made another mindless comment. As a member of "The Few, The Proud, The Platoon", I've received my share of "gunny-slaps" and have become habituated to responding to foolishness. My action was carelessly reflexive. :lol::lol:
