RIP:

 

I was surprised to learn that his "lazy" eye was due to losing an eye to Cancer very early in his life.

I never realised he was also a voice actor in Shark Tale - which was on TV today.

 

Made a great contribution to the Film and TV industry - sadly missed

I loved Columbo.

 

 

Me too, I'm a total Columbo nerd. I love the scripts, and the atonal incidental music through a lot of the early episodes.

 

I'd been following the stories about his decline for some time. Alzheimer's is ghastly. He was due to do one more anniversary show, but by the time they were ready to shoot he wasn't capable of doing it. Then about a year ago, it was reported that he could no longer remember making the series. He couldn;t remember he was Columbo! There'salso been a really nasty dispute between his wife and daughter over his care.

 

He was a very bright and talented guy. He had a degree in a weirdly specialised subject like administration, public administration, public health administration - something like that. There used to be a lot of his paintings on his website that were really pretty good.
