    He was a good actor. I seen him in a couple of movies he just didn't fit in his younger days and really came into his own in comedy.

    His brother was a Federal member of Parliament for the Northwest or Yukon territories. Fiesty old bugger too.

    My wife loves the guy. She was shocked. His humor was popular in Mexico too. :thumbs2:

    I liked him in "Police Squad". It was a very short TV series (or at least was supposed to be a TV series) with the OJ. Can't forget the Naked Gun trilogy.
