    Ned Beatty has passed

    What an actor!

    Betcha didn't know Deliverance was his first movie. What guts, what a debut! He was a scene stealer many times. The Rockford Files was one of my favorite shows, and he was one of the best villians James Garner ever faced. Also one of the cops on another personal favorite, Homicide: Life on the Street. I think I'll rent the original Superman movie tomorrow.

    Definitely one of the all-time great character actors.

    It was a minor role in a good but hardly great comedy, but I thought Beatty was hilarious - and perfectly cast - as the glad handing Dean Martin in Back to School

    Also remember him in Nashville, which was way back in 1975.
