He would have been 86 today. But sadly he past away way to young. He did some icon roles in film and on stage. I love him in the Addams family, the gumball rally and kiss of the spider woman. He single-handedly made Street Fighter a watchable movie with his over the top but awesome performance as M. Bison while he was dying of cancer.
    His last released made for tv movie was Down came a blackbird. In this movie it was very visible he was not doing well and still he gave a magnificent performance.
    Wishing him a happy heavenly birthday!

    1. He was a powerhouse. Whether it was Shakespeare on Broadway or a campy 90s blockbuster, he gave 110% to every single role. We really didn’t deserve him.

    2. DrummerSteve on

      If they remake Adam’s Family 1000 times until the end of time, no one will ever top his performance as Gomez.

    3. I remember him in Presumed Innocent. Such a calm, reassuring manner with his client, Harrison Ford.
