“On The Waterfront” is a top ten favorite movie of mine. Hollywood would NOT make that one today.
RIP
I saw him in about 1000 TV shows.
I tried picturing him in my mind before I looked at the article. And I was 100% correct. He was one of those “hardest working men” in Hollywood and was in everything. Great actor.
He was one of my favorites. As great a character actor as Akim Tamiroff!
I remember him in SO many movies. Go rest high, Nehemiah.
A very good character actor. He was in one of my favorite Columbo episodes playing a nightclub owner who was blackmailing a magician “The Great Santini” (Jack Cassidy) who was a former prison guard in a Nazi concentration camp.
Amazing actor! May He RIP.
He liked commie Streisand. That is enough for me to hate him.
Covid Vax?
Well, he was 102.
Mr. Persoff was one of the great character actors. He even had a spot in at least one episode of “Gilligan’s Island”. I always liked him. RIP.
A great character actor. Always loved him in The Untouchables TV show as Jake “Greasy Thumb” Guzik.
Along with John Dehner, Persoff was one of my favorite actors to see in all of their TV and movie roles. His passing made me wonder who had more appearances as the both were highly prolific. IMDB shows Persoff with 206 acting credits while Dehner shows an amazing 288 credits.
That’s interesting, because I know Dehner mainly through his radio roles. I knew he was prolific in radio, but not in other media.
That is a movie I have still never seen. What element in it would make it verboten today? Ana I have watched a ton of movies and Ann working through the classics, but haven’t made it to that one yet.
Movies are a hydra-headed monster. Everyone you knock down leads you to 3 or 4 more.
One of the best character actors of all time.
If it was a ‘60’s TV drama, you either had him or Malachi Throne playing the sinister European.
Yes, but he died, and according to FR logic, any person who dies is a victim of the Covid Jab until proven otherwise.
“He liked commie Streisand. That is enough for me to hate him.”
Let it go. No end of people with bad taste like the caterwauling of BS. It doesn’t mean they’re bad people if they like bland, mediocre music from a nasty, vindictive harpy.
