Wojo 2,453 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I didn't know he was still alive. Rest in peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omen II 1,235 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 One of my favourite character actors. I loved him in both Earthquake and The Eiger Sanction, as well as many others such as Cool Hand Luke, The Delta Force and of course Naked Gun. Never get on a plane with George Kennedy. RIP.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Incredibly successful as a straight character actor, yet when I think of him, i think of his Captain Ed Hocken from the Naked Gun films.

mrbellamy 6,287 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 RIP He had a great face. Instantly recognizable. I remember him well in Naked Gun, Thunderbolt and Lightfoot, and of course Cool Hand Luke but I'm not gonna lie, this was the first thing I thought of: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Hilary Bray 235 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Saddened to read -I had watched Airport and Flight of the Phoenix last week and in both as with other films he was on form. In my mind it'd be Airport, Dirty Dozen and yes Naked Gun I'll chiefly remember him for but maybe also Bilko which got him on that path to greatness. RIP "I'm going for broke!"
