He gave us one of the greatest MST3K spoofs ever. “ Mitchell.” RIP, Joe Don. B movie cinema is richer for your efforts.

I liked “Walking Tall”; he was great in that. I thought he was amazing in “Charley Varrick”, a movie I could watch every few months.

It borders on criminal that he was never given a shot art playing Babe Ruth — he’s the actor most resembling the Bambino.

One of the few to both play a villain and an ally in James Bond. Maude Adams is the other.

In Walking Tall the ambush of the sheriff and his wife had an effect on me similar to learning of the JFK assassination.

“...mourned by a small but very close circle of friends who will miss him eternally.”

People say this a lot. I always read this to mean that his survivors think they’re gonna live forever.

I enjoyed him in his roles.

I am glad he had a long life.

May he have set his soul on Heaven.

Some very great roles back in the day.
Came across as a very likeable fellow.
