Sad news --- he was a great actor and I enjoyed much of his work.

He looks quite like an older Letterman eh?

Sad news to hear, but I think Tootsie was about the only one of his films I've seen.

I don't see it myself... but of course the next time I see David Letterman, I will :)

I'd forgotten he was in Tootsie --- haven't seen that film in ages.

I loved watching him on the Carol Bernette Show. He and Tim Conway always had me in stitches. He will be missed.

So sad. I loved The Carol Burnett Show. The best was when Tim Conway would make Harvey Korman laugh and mess up his lines.

He was the best on The Carol Burnett show. He'll be missed. Another old time comedian leaves us all.

I about jumped out of my skin when I read this. I have been waiting for this movie since I was eight! I'm a huge Elfquest nerd and it's actually the comic book that lead to my husband and I meeting up in the first place. So I owe a lot of my present happiness to those crazy elves. Hell, my first tattoo was an Elfquest tattoo. My only hope is that it isn't screwed up and I am worried about it being live action. I just don't think that would work. But we will see and hopefully all these years of waiting will be worth it. I won't hold my breath yet.

My nephew told me he saw that they might be making "The Good Shepherd" into a trilogy. He mentioned the website Hollywood Wiretap but I haven't found any corroboration.

Frankly, I'm not sure how they could expand on the story. Without spoiling anything, it movie seemed to be quite complete as-is.

I was never a fan myself - he really just seemed to do knob-gags from what I remember - but it's a shame he died at a pretty young age.
