Heard today that Peter Falk died at the age of 83. Loved watching Columbo, was always my favorite cop shop.

We had a detective that we nicknamed "Columbo" as he had Peter Falks' character demeanor down perfectly and didn't even know it. Very unassuming, a little scattered, treated everyone with respect - i.e. "Can I get you something? Are you comfortable? Everything O.K.? etc. by the end of the interview many times he had the "person of interest" confessing to things they did as a kid. His interview technique was amazing. Everytime I saw Dave I could not help but think of Peter Falks' Columbo.
RIP - Lt. Columbo.

He was also the grandpa in one of my favorite movies
RIP

Sad news, all the greats are passing on

The role of Columbo was original and captivating.

He also played some great roles in other movies, one which I thought was great was "Cookie"

RIP Peter Falk

He'll be missed.

RIP Peter.

He was also hysterical as Vince in "The Inlaws". Sheldon was played by Alan Arkin. I remember the scene where the two were discussing an inscribed photo of JFK that hung in Vince's office. He was explaining the inscription, which was: "To Vince - at least we tried. JFK."

Vince: "...he was crazy about me. That inscription referred to the Bay of Pigs."
Sheldon (incredulously): "YOU were involved in the Bay of Pigs???"
Vince: "Involved?!?! It was MY IDEA!"

Classic!!...

Serpentine, Shel! Serpentine!

I heartily second that. He was another actor with ne equal that will never be replaced. He will really be missed.

I liked him as Columbo, but he was great as Guy Gisborn in Robin and the Seven Hoods.
I think Sip was in that one too.

Colombo never one of my favorite progs. but he was a good actor and was in a lot of movies in supporting roles that were good.
