    (One of the few Western Stars remaining is now gone) RIP George Kennedy

    He played some tough hombre's opposite the likes of John Wayne, Dean Martin, Jimmy Stewart

    Playing some real hedonist villains and some hero rolls as well.

    Here he is honoring Jimmy Stewart.


    He is deserving of this type of honor. Great Character actor. Great person.



    RIP Mr. Kennedy.

            He was a big dude...living that long was nothing short of amazing.

            Great actor, they don't make him like that anymore.

                Sad to hear this, I remember him in many western movies and television shows, he played different
                character roles, and did a great job on them all.

                  Great character actor, and despite his fantastic roles like Cool Hand Luke, great at playing straight in a comedy like the Naked Gun films.
