Steve Landesberg, most famous, I guess, as Detective Arthur Dietrich on "Barney Miller".

I've always just loved this guy's dry, deadpan delivery.

He also did a great Gregory Peck.



Fuck cancer.

Numbers have never sat still for me. They move around. I can add and shit, but, when it's time to use the sums, or check the work, nobody else sees the numbers I saw when I looked at them.

Steven Spielberg called him "The best actor in the world".

He was awesome. He made Brassed off, among so many others. One of those actors capable of sending chills down your spine, even in a comedy role.

This is a big loss. Dick Winters has died. There are so few of them left.

John Dye from "Touched by an Angel" died. I went to high school with him & we were in a production of The Sound of Music. Naturally, I'm a few years older
