Yup, he was a great bad guy in Shooter and phenomenal as Rudy’s dad.

I remember him as the hapless track manager in “The Last American Hero.”

Rest In Peace. No more squealing like a pig.

He sure had a purdy mouth.

When Howard Stern was fired for calling Air Florida live on the air and asking for a one way ticket to the Fourteenth Street Bridge in Washington DC, he was replaced by the Greaseman.

I was listening. DC101 FM!

You’re right. Think about it . Naked in the woods and being raped. Not a role many people would play.

I thought Grease lost his gig in DC when he commented on MLK Day that he wondered, if someone shot 4 more, if we would get the whole week off..

I think he was just suspended for that, or was it his saying if 4 more civil rights were killed we could get a whole week off work?

Of all things, I really liked his performance in “The Toy” with Jackie Gleason and Richard Pryor.

Are we going to Addis Abbiba Mr Luthor? Ottisburg?

In all fairness to Mr Melon it was a really big check “Back to School”

RIP Ned
