“Watch out Marvin!”
He was a big part of why that was such a great movie. Really sad and hard way to go.
Beverly Hills Cop — one of the best movies from the 1980s.
One of the best 80s movies! Epic!
Condolences; RIP; Blessings. Good actor; tx.
I met him one time in a bar at the Las Vegas airport about 18 years ago. We were sitting at the bar and struck up conversation. He was foul mouthed but a pretty decent fellow. He finally told me who he was and said he was in town for a golf tourney. RIP
Yup, and despite Denonothin’ starring, it remains my favorite buddy movie.

He could have played the GOP. They’re always falling for the banana in the tail pipe.
