I don't believe Peter Falk had any Disney connections, but he was in one of my favorite movies so I though a little tribute here would be proper. 83 is pretty good...thoughts and prayers go out to his family!


....as you wish

That's sad to hear.

He was in the Great Muppet Caper. He played a tramp. It was an uncredited role and Corky Romano which is a Walt Disney Studio movie.

I forgot about that! It's been so long since I've seen GMC. I usually watch Take Manahttan or the original Muppet Movie.

Prayers to his family!

He was a great character actor ~ he will be missed...

Sad news indeed.
I loved Columbo "just one question" and you knew he had them even if you had not quite worked it out yourself. The original Quirky detective.
Thoughts are with his family.

MmeLeota - What is your favorite movie with Peter Faulk? You teased us but did not tell. Murder by Death (probably my favorite with him) or the weird one with Cindy Lauper (sorry, can't remember the name of it.)

Dora Charleston: Mr. Diamond, there's a bullet hole in your back.

Sam Diamond: You should see the other guy.

So much of his dialogue was hilarious but I don't know if you could put some of that on this forum, lol. I also remember him as the loyal sidekick Max to the dastardly Professor Fate (Jack Lemmon) in Blake Edwards' The Great Race:

Upon the command of "Push the button, Max!":


The two characters would later become the inspiration for Dick Dastardly and Muttley in the Wacky Races, with Professor Fate's Railway Rocket serving as the inspiration for #00 Mean Machine:

Love the Great Race

This was the last line of the movie...and it was spoken by him.

For those not familiar with it, the movie is "The Princess Bride"

Inconceivable!

I've heard of the movie...just never seen it ducking to avoid being hit with flying objects

Haven't seen it?!? Ready the cannon! Push the button, Max!
