I was a big fan of his. I loved his movie work too, everything from No Time For Sergeants to Waitress. I guess there's a new sheriff in...Heaven.

a true television icon, he will be missed

I really enjoyed watching Matlock and The Andy Griffith Show in my younger days

He turned in a tremendous performance in A FACE IN THE CROWD as one of the most despicable characters in movie history.

I have often crowed that I thought the second greatest TV program yet produced was "THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW"... I was surprised (and pleased) to learn that "MATLOCK" ran much longer than "THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW"  ANDY's eponymous show (and I remember "Mayberry R.F.D.").

That kept happening to poor Abe Vigoda....he kept making lists of dead actors while still alive.

Well, that happens to old actors who don't have a current gig. People just forget them, until they see them in past work, and go "I wonder what ever happened to..."

Agree. Not bad for an actor making his motion picture debut, where he is more than ablely supported by Patricia Neal, Tony Franciosa, and Walter Matthau. Also Lee Remick's motion picture debut. And this would also have been Charles Nelson Reilly's motion picture debut, if his face had not been left on the cutting room floor.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
