bendejo Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 I like his stuff from the days when he was young and hungry, like in the original "12 Angry Men." He shows up in a few Twilight Zone episodes too. Too bad the Law & Order franchise didn't tap him, he'd have made a great curmudgeonly judge. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chooka Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 (edited) I remeber seeing Quincy as a kid, but the odd couple was before my time to young to remember. 90 is a good innings. RIP Edited December 25, 2012 by chooka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
