Losing a lot of good ones the past couple years, it seems.

84 years old and was acting pretty much up until the final days.  Nobody could deadpan silliness like he.

Makes me want to watch Airplane! (1&2) and Naked Gun (1-3)
The two most abundant things in the universe are hydrogen and stupidity.
Stupidity has no cool down timer.



Durmage the Insane

A great Canadian actor ;-) Fun fact - his brother was a Minister of Parliament in Canada for many years.

Another fun fact (in my head): he was a dramatic actor and was cast by the Zucker/Abraham/Zucker team as the dr in Airplane because they wanted a well known and serious actor to add 'oomph' to the satire.  And they made a convert to comedy.  He never went back.  :)
