[Dr. Sivana]

I remember that Columbo episode, too!

Donald Pleasance gave one of the best acting performances I had ever seen in that one. In under ten minutes, he established his character so well, that when his brother taunts him that the high brow vineyards are going to be sold to a mass market vintner to make the Columbo-universe of '70s gallon Gallo wine or Boone's Farm, his eyes pop out and the veins in his neck pulse that is incredibly hard to fake. By the time he clobbers the brother with a blunt object, you are almost sympathetic.

It was even better than Patrick McGoohan's role as the military-minded headmaster at a traditional all-boy's military academy about to be turned into a CO-ED Jr. College, and that one was good.

Beau LOVES watching MeTV and keeps me up to date on who is in what role, when.

He loves nothing better than when an actor who usually plays a Good Guy is cast as a Bad Guy.

Two come to mind, I think both were ‘Law And Order.’ Carol Burnett was the evil one, and so was ‘John Boy Walton.’ Those were both delicious!
