I only know him from Fargo, but he was great in that.
He was so good in "Fargo". Hated "Molly Brown". Only one song in "Paint Your Wagon", but a great one. Too bad.

Another Sugden article, all within the past hour
I guess we can all drop that “three’s” thing .....
Are you sure about Fred Travelena? I thought he died last year.
We're up to 9, that's a multiple of 3.
I am sorry he is gone, tremendous voice (7 Brides 4 7 Brothers) and he was an exceptional actor = FARGO.
One thing no one ever mentioned about the Bush Presidency, we can also put an end to that “0 factor” thing, that presidents who are elected in years ending in 0 die in office.
Reagan survived an assassin’s bullets. GW Bush survived the office too.
Played General George Marshall in “Saving Private Ryan”.
Dom Deluise is missing from your list.
10, if Jan Rubes is significant enough for the list.

TORONTO — Jan Rubes, who played the Amish grandfather in the 1985 Harrison Ford film “Witness,” has died at age 89.
Rubes was born in the former Czechoslovakia and emigrated to Canada in 1948.
In addition to his film work, he was an accomplished singer who performed for the Canadian Opera Company over 1,000 times.
“Witness,” directed by Peter Weir, was nominated for eight Academy Awards and told the story of a detective protecting a young Amish boy who was witness to a murder.
Other film roles included “The Outside Chance of Maximilian Glick,” “Snow Falling on Cedars” and “D2: The Mighty Ducks.” He also did TV work, appearing in shows including “The X-Files,” “Due South” and “Stargate SG-1.”
Rubes was married to his wife Susan for almost 60 years. He also leaves behind two sons and three grandsons.
They’re all jumpin’ ship before Obamacare kicks in...
he was excellent in Escanaba in Da Moonlight!
Deluise died more than a month ago.
I think the list here is meant to be more time limited.
I missed the news on Karl Malden. Wow. He was good.
Do you remember which song he sang? I loved Paint Your Wagon.
