A titan, up to the end. A gifted actor, too.

I even enjoyed him as Will's dad on Will and Grace. A very funny and talented man.

I was only watching Absence Of Malice last night . A great talent . Besides his directing work his acting included a memorable role as a orderly in a prison hospital in the last season of The Soprano's.

Great commercial : "Excuse me, is my acting and direction interrupting your phone call" Tootsie took balls.

Played before most films in USA for more than one year to emphasize "silence your cell phones"

Brilliant.

Funny though how most of the articles mention Out Of Africa as his best film (I've never seen it

) and forget to mention They Shoot Horses, Don't They? , which I liked a lot.

Fitting tribute. 'You were a tomato, a tomato doesn't have logic!' Great stuff.
