        He was a trouper in the docs of filme I liked...

        INNERSPACE and UHF come to mind.

        You guys seem like the kind of crowd that'd like his bit in TWILIGHT ZONE: THE MOVIE.

          Sounds like he really enjoyed life and what he did for a living. Probably a good recipe for getting to the age of 96. May he RIP.
          It's all good!

                I liked his cameo reprisal of his IOTBS role in the 70's remake of Body Snatchers with Donald Sutherland.

                        He was a great genre man.
                        Always liked his roles....
