Agreed!!! More talent in his little finger than any of these young’n ‘stars’ today will ever have. The ‘Honeymooners’ was indeed wonderful but the characters he portrayed during his TV shows was pure brilliance. I feel his acting in the movie, The Hustler, (as Minnesota Fats), was his best movie work. Then their was his work in the music industry. Good God what an all around performer/entertainer!!!

As I say ...Gleason was the great one before Levin came around....and don't forget his cop role in Smoky and the Bandit...I don't think there is anything he couldn't do and be the best at it... Some day Alice POW right in the kisser....definately policially incorrect and wouldn't make it on TV today..

That line always cracked up my dad.

But his acting had no end. Comedy, drama, music, TV movies. I cannot thing of anyone today that had what he had when it comes to talent..The Hustler was quite an acting job also.
