One of the great character actors ever. The Jerk, Fletch, etc.

One of the great character actors of all time in both film and TV.

Co-starred in one of my favorite X-Files Episodes, "The Unnatural"

Blood Simple. I don't think the movie works without him.

Best X-Files episode ever.

Spent the last few years in episodes of The Righteous Gemstones as Jesse's grandfather and Eli's dad, and had a pivotal role in a Season 2 twist.

Also got his gavel broken in The Best of Times.

RIP -- I had no idea he was still alive or that young back in the 80s. Crazy how some folks hit their old version so quickly.

ETA: Actually, I take that back. I remember now being shocked when he showed up in Knives Out.
