According to The World Almanac, he was born 7/17/1934, so he was a few weeks short of his 90th birthday if that is correct. He was born in St. John, New Brunswick.

The author overlooked "Kelly's Heroes"? Shame! Who can forget Oddball?

I loved him pretending to be the general in The Dirty Dozen. “Where you from, son?” “Never heard of it.”

Fantastic actor. Never heard much out of him politically.

Did he ever appear w/ Kiefer on 24 I wonder? Don’t remember.

“Invasion of the Body Snatchers” -- I was struggling to remember that movie! I looked up a number of things but couldn't find it. Here you go...a classic!

His best line was when he was a tank commander in Kelly’s Heroes;

“Cool the negative vibes, man!”
