    He was hilarious, wasn't he?! I was surprised to hear on the news that he started out in serious roles.....I've never seen him in any.
    He was a funny guy....may he rest in peace.

    The passing of genius, comic or otherwise, is a loss to us all. Truly may you rest in peace.

    My favorite of his shows, and the first thing i ever saw him in, was Disney's Swamp Fox.
